Expressions is a heartfelt composition for beginning band that will inspire your young students’ sense of musicality. As the title implies, this work is a study in expression, which challenges the ensemble’s command of breath support, tone quality and intonation. Its chorale-like nature makes use of non-chord tones to project its emotion, asking each performer to play with maximum ensemble awareness and sensitivity. If you are looking for that special piece in the middle of your program, Expressions is sure to fulfill that purpose.
