Second Essay. Samuel Barber. Grade 5.

Original

Second Essay composed by Samuel Barber. 1910-1981. Edited by George Schneider. For Concert Band. Score. G. Schirmer Band. Orchestra. Grade 5. 40 pages. Published by G. Schirmer. HL.50483723. ISBN 0634018833. 10.5x14 inches. Composed in 1942, Barber's Second Essay is a masterwork of concentrated musical drama with a richness of texture comprised of highly charged and succinctly organized musical modules. The opening theme has a definite American flavor. This is followed by a fugal section evolving from simple tonal patterns to polytonality. After an intensely rhythmic third section, all elements are combined in a huge climax and coda which rounds off the work. Expertly transcribed by Dr. George Schneider, this is certain to find its place in the standard repertoire for mature ensembles. Dur. 11. 00. Grade 5.
