About this arrangement

Band concert band - Grade 4 SKU: KJ.WB498 Composed by Andrew Boysen, Jr. Band, Repertoire. Music book. Neil A. Kjos Music Company #WB498. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.WB498). UPC: 8402704935. 9 x 12 inches.The basic building blocks for the piece come from the use of a musical cryptogram, a compositional approach that assigns musical pitches to notes of the alphabet, allowing the composer to “spell” words musically. The main melody outlines the name of the dedicatee of this work, a high school percussionist, and also an avid runner, who was tragically killed. Composer Andrew Boysen Jr. deftly combines these two themes for a stirring end, which then fades off into the distance.
