SKU: CN.S11244
Composed by Bruce Fraser. Band Music. Score only. Duration 8:00. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.S11244).Cast a spell on your audience with this magnificent work for band. Young Wizards is a three-movement composition inspired by the composer's reading of 'Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone.' Students will love experiencing the magic of the world of Hogwarts in this original suite.
This three movement suite was inspired by the composer's reading of Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone. The work is based on a tone row taken from the musical letters contained within the title. "Black Pointed Hats" in D minor sets the scene, with the bass instruments playing an accented form of the tone row. Note clusters and chromatic movement help to create the mysterious sound palette for listeners to let their imagination run riot. The contrary motion in the upper woodwinds at the beginning of "Spells" gives a mesmerizing effect. The third movement, "Flying Broomsticks," evokes the image of young wizards flying around, using chromatic runs and various accented sections where the flying is not so smooth. Both themes used in this movement combine to form a grand flypast!
