Publisher Desc.  Evening Breeze is a lyrical piece for beginning band that uses only seven pitches. The piece begins immediately with the A theme performed by the woodwinds and percussion. Keep each quarter note light and sustain for the full duration. The full band joins the A theme at measure 9. Keep this section balanced, light, and smooth. The B theme begins at measure 17. Different voices in the band take turns playing the melody against the bass line. Have the bass line play their part out during any moving part in this section. At measure 33, the A theme returns in the woodwinds. The full band performs the A theme again at measure 41, but then crescendos to the climax of the piece at measure 48. Make this crescendo dramatic and exaggerated. The piece then fades away until the final fermata.
