Quasar. William Owens. Grade 2.

Original

Quasar composed by William Owens. 1963-. For concert band. FJH Young Band. Grade 2.5. Score only. Duration 3 minutes, 30 seconds. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc. FJ.B1594S. This thrilling and adrenaline-charged work depicts a "quasar," the most intense source of light in the universe. The boisterous opening and brisk tempo portrays the speed of light itself while sudden bursts of sound mix with lingering dissonant clusters to characterize unpredictable discharges of light and radiation. A serene, slow section offers a glimpse into a distant universe before the music becomes more powerful, driving to a fiery finish. Outstanding. 30. 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.
