Memento - Bb Clarinet 3

Famed bandmaster Arthur Delamont always programmed a hymn in his concerts and "Memento" is an homage to that proud tradition. Starting with a simple and reverent solo trumpet and introducing other brass instruments one by one, the introduction has the sound of a brass band. The woodwinds join in and, with the use of rich textures and dynamic scoring, the work builds to a powerful climax and then resolves once again with the solo trumpet. Ideal for festival use, "Memento" will give your ensemble an opportunity to explore expression and nuance. The second movement of "A Tribute to Arthur Delamont", "Memento" was commissioned by the West Vancouver Youth Band. Dur: 4:00
