Description
Imagine a journey into the unknown, out of this world, maybe even into it. Imagine the tension beforehand, the unusual otherworldly things you may see. Imagine the pride of your return, eager to tell the world about your exploits.
In three linked movements, this piece describes such an adventure, with unusual tempi, time signatures and keys all featuring.
Suitable for UK 2nd-3rd Section bands as a contest piece
