{"product_id":"millennium-2nd-bassoon-00-pc-0000268-b2","title":"Millennium: 2nd Bassoon","description":"\"Millennium,\" recorded this year by Alfred for the first time, was first released in 1998. Winner of the 1998 N.S.O.A. composition contest, this contemporary-sounding overture is extremely powerful and full of emotion from beginning to end. After a foreboding introduction, the heroic main theme is introduced by the brass section in unison, accompanied by the entire orchestra in a percussive, marcato style. A lyrical subordinate theme of extreme beauty follows, first stated by unison cellos, then picked up by the entire orchestra. The third and final section is a wild and energetic march, pitting brass against woodwinds and strings, leading into a final, majestic restatement of the main theme. Richard Meyer's colorful and imaginative scoring features every section of the symphony orchestra, resulting in a wonderfully mature-sounding, yet playable, 'tour de force' for the student orchestra.","brand":"Alfred Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53094842728813,"sku":"00-PC-0000268_B2","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/7418\/0461\/files\/00-18293_large_5cc5eb54-83f4-44b7-9f6b-e738f115641f.jpg?v=1779837376","url":"https:\/\/shop.makemusic.com\/products\/millennium-2nd-bassoon-00-pc-0000268-b2","provider":"MakeMusic Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
