The Red Baron. Erik Morales. Grade 2.

Original

The Red Baron composed by Erik Morales. For concert band. Concert Band. FJH Young Band. Full set. score and parts. Score only also available. B1417S. Grade 2.5. Score and set of parts. Duration 3 minutes. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc. FJ.B1417. Based on a famous World War I German fighter pilot, this work feeds off of the raw emotion of open-air cockpit combat. A haunting opening effectively uses voices to portray a great red triplane emerging from a misty cloudbank in preparation for battle. As the pace of music intensifies, the plane is ambushed from behind and roaring trombone glissandos help paint a picture of aviation chaos as the planes dive through the air. Absolutely thrilling. 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.
