Steps Ahead (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Gandolfi, Michael

Steps Ahead is a new BandQuest work by Michael Gandolfi that takes young players on a journey! Along the way, there are musical/compositional techniques that are intended to educate the performers about basic compositional techniques that are intended to educate the performers about basic compositional techniques. "Steps Ahead is a delightful piece with something interesting for every instrument in the ensemble. Each of its three sections addresses a kind of compositional technique - transposition, tutti (a 2-part homophonic section) and developing tutti (parts of the band enter to build to a 2-part homophonic tutti). Less experienced players might enjoy the challenges of easy syncopation and musical lines constructed with larger intervals." -Tom Duffy, series editor.
