Life Dances

Who but William Himes could have composed this one? Filled with humor, pathos, excitement and surprise, LIFE DANCES is a brilliant and rhythmic overture for the adventurous band. The dauntless contemporary sounds of the opening are contrasted by an almost Medeival character. You'll traverse many intriguing and unpredictable paths before dazzling rhythmic interplay drives the band to the astonishing ending. Like life, when you first open this box of chocolates you truly won't know what wonderful treats are in store. As a director, if you've ever gotten a bit weary of the same old same old, you've come to the right place for a change. This one is sure to reinvigorate you and your band as you discover together all the surprises life has to offer. A celebration! Grade 4.0 7:45
