Concerto for Percussion & Wind Ensemble

Solo Percussion Feature

Infused with color and texture, Stephen Anderson's Concerto for Percussion & Wind Ensemble meshes the band and soloist with skill. Utilizing marimba and vibraphone in the first and second movement, the solo part is expressive and fresh. The new third movement, scored for multiple percussion, may be played as part of the concerto or stand on its own.
