A Hero s rocession Ryan Meeoer This piece is a celeration piece to honour those ho risk their lives everyday to make our orld a etter place to live. The opening measures need to e played ith strong, almost accented, eeling, very similar to a anare. Although the melody is ritten or oth the alto sax and trumpet, the trumpet is to e dominant to relect this anare style. Be sure this eeling continues into measure 9 as all remaining instruments enter to ill out the sound, and provide harmonies to the main melody. At measure 19, a light, slo march eel is created. Be careul the ass instruments do not overpoer the sot sound o the clarinet. When all instruments return at measure 27, make sure the lute s countermelody can e heard, so all other instruments should control their dynamic. The opening melody returns at measure 35, roken up y short percussion reaks. Make sure percussion instruments can e eatured y not alloing all the other instruments to hold their notes into the rests. ractice cutting o the notes, ithout making them too short or exaggerated. The piece closes ith the original material returning at measure 51. Have this played ith the same energy as the piece opens ith, and this energy is kept right up until the inal note. REVIEW ONLY There are several moments in the clarinet, trumpet and alto saxophone parts here to notes appear. These sections should e split equally among the availale players - top and ottom.
