About this arrangement

Concert Band - Grade 3 SKU: AP.36691 Composed by Robert Sheldon. Concert Band; MakeMusic Cloud; Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Young Symphonic. Form: Overture. Meters. Score and Part(s). 262 pages. Alfred Music #00-36691. Published by Alfred Music (AP.36691). UPC: 038081417561. English.A fast-paced tour-de-force for developing bands, Spontaneous Combustion explodes out of the starting blocks and keeps moving relentlessly to the last note. Presented in a minor key with shifting tonalities and tuneful melodies, this musical juggernaut eventually yields to a major key, which only amplifies its inherent energy. Mixed meters and bombastic percussion help to drive the piece to the very end. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
