Product Description
12 Years Later - James Howard's "12 Years Later", originally known for its hauntingly evocative melody, is reimagined, blending the piece's cinematic origins with the power and warmth of brass and a dynamic rhythmic drive.
The arrangement opens with a folk-like melodic line in the solo cornet, set against a backdrop of dark, static chords and mysterious, atmospheric percussion. The introduction establishes a mood of suspense and introspection. As the piece progresses, the intensity builds, accompanied by a steady, yet energetic, rock beat. A bold fanfare-esque melody emerges in the horns and trombones, before being passed around the ensemble. This theme, rich in its harmonic and textural development, propels the music forward with a sense of both urgency and grandeur.
Following a brief moment of antiphonal interplay between sections of the band, the music soars into a high, triumphant melody. In its dying moments, the tune fades away, returning to a dark, lingering chord that echoes the mysterious atmosphere of the opening.
