Concert Band (Score) - Grade 5 SKU: HL.4007247 Movement 2 from Suspended for Symphonic Wind Band. Composed by Alex Shapiro. Activist Music. Concert. Softcover. Duration 540 seconds. Published by Activist Music (HL.4007247). UPC: 840126969467. 9.0x12.0x0.068 inches.“Distanced” by Alex Shapiro is an anthemic, pensive unravelling which begins lost in anguished melancholy, and expands to a raw, poignant, and pleading wail. This is one of four movements in Suspended, a piece is composed in the tradition of an 18th century Classical symphony: four contrasting movements which serve specific functions and reveal a story. The work begins in absolute rage and chaos, then alternates between moments of grief and bleakness. Grim reality shifts to a macabre, circus-like insanity, and by the end, flickers of genuine hope contrast a pervasive sense of dread, and finally arrive at more optimistic possibilities. To perform the piece, you'll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from a laptop computer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer.
