Through Courageous Eyes. Brian Balmages. Grade 2.

Original

Through Courageous Eyes composed by Brian Balmages. For concert band. Concert Band. FJH Young Band. Full set. score and parts. Score only also available. B1155S. Grade 2.5. Score and set of parts. Duration 4 minutes, 50 seconds. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc. FJ.B1155. This innovative work makes use of an optional piano part that is most likely playable by someone already in the band. It was written in honor of Matt Rhodes, a student at John T. Baker Middle. Damascus, MD. , who passed away during a battle with spina bifida. It represents his kindness, courage, and determination despite his confinement to a wheelchair. An opening ethereal section and chorale moves into an exciting portrayal of life which concludes with a humorous ending that was very characteristic of Matt. A very musical new composition which teaches much more than notes. Appropriate for middle school and smaller high school groups. Second clarinets usually stay below the break. Parts are written with more independence, and instrumentation increases slightly. There is still adequate doubling in the lower voices. Grades 2 - 2.5.
