Sansketch (Concert Band - Score and Parts)

David Shaffer's Spiritus'' opens with a bright fanfare and quickly settles into a trumpet melody that continually changes tonality. The lush, slow middle section separates the two outer sections. Flowing melodies, contemporary harmonies with careful attention to the limitations of developing bands are all combined to produce a composition that offers many instructional opportunities as it continues to hold the interest and attention of young musicians.
