Product Description
Red is the third movement of my first suite for concert band, Primary Colors. But it also stands as a piece on its own.
This piece uses angular rhythms, disjunct melody lines, and big chords to convey what the color red means to me. There are moments of intricate and independent percussion lines that swell into the full band acting as percussion with short, crisp notes on their instruments as well as moments of dark wind chords. And it wouldnt be a piece about the color red without a little homage to a heartbeat.
