Purple Whispers. Richard L. Saucedo. Grade 5.

Original

Purple Whispers composed by Richard L. Saucedo. For Concert Band. Score & Parts. MusicWorks Grade 5. Grade 5. Published by Hal Leonard. HL.4003964. This remarkable and descriptive work opens and closes with members of the ensemble whispering to one another, creating a soft yet chaotic effect. The simple poem is by the composer. “Whispers move in colored flight, seeking signs of next twilight, purple as the violets grow, warm but rich for all to know. ” As the piece progresses, introduced by a solo piano, the listener is taken through a dynamic range of emotional tension and release before the quiet mood returns to close out this uniquely effective composition. Dur. 15. Recorded by the Marshall University Wind Symphony – Steve Barnett, conductor. ScorePlay - click to view score with recording.
