Flight of the Condor: Concert Band Conductor Score

This driving original by Mark Williams depicts the flight of the majestic condor along the rugged Pacific coast. Once common, but now endangered, this bird's lonely travels are reflected in the minor tone of this exciting work for young band. Cast in ABA form, a brief slow middle section is followed by a return to the brilliant "Allegro vivo" of the opening. Punctuated by strong horn/sax lines and syncopated percussion figures, this selection is destined to become a favorite of students and audiences.
