The Red Planet
The Red Planet is an original concert piece in 5/4 time for a band with at least one years training. Joseph Compello's intriguing new work depicts the planet Mars in 5/4 time, giving the work an uneven, exciting feel. The opening section is bold and aggressive, and this piece explores a variety of moods throughout its duration. This, along with the lyrical pseudo sci-fi sound, will make The Red Planet a big hit with students. As a bonus, Compello included a fugato section to help introduce students to contrapuntal music.
Full Score, Flute, Oboe (Opt. Flute 2), Clarinet 1 in Bb, Clarinet 2 in Bb, Bass Clarinet in Bb, Alto Saxophone in Eb, Tenor Saxophone in Bb, Baritone Saxophone in Eb, Trumpet 1 in Bb, Trumpet 2 in Eb, Horn in F, Trombone, Euphonium B.C., Bassoon, Euphonium T.C. in Bb, Tuba, Mallet Percussion - Xylophone, Timpani, Percussion 1 - Snare Drum, Bass Drum, Percussion 2 - Tambourine, Crash Cymbals, Triangle
