Ode to Lincolnshire (Band Gr. 3)

In this original work for wind band, the various choirs of winds provide an ebb and flow to the music, echoing the coastline & rolling hills of Lincolnshire, England. Like a painting, its melody creates an emotional impression of the landscape. Following a triumphant rise, the music again becomes quiet as it settles into a serene conclusion.
