This vibrant and colorful fanfare for young bands is based around a single melodic idea while the surrounding textures constantly change and grow in complexity. Beginning with a declarative fanfare, the music takes the listener on a journey across the Atlantic along with early European settlers on their way to North America. A powerful opener that will not overly tax your musicians. This fully adaptable version puts all parts within reach of all of your musicians, allowing for maximum flexibility and versatility - especially for ensembles of different sizes.
