Product Description

Written in 2007 for the Luton Symphony Orchestra in Bedfordshire, England, the Anasazi Overture is a fun and crowd-pleasing concert overture that combines beautiful Coplandesque string playing with exciting Hans Zimmer style brass.

The piece is based on two Native American folk tunes; A Hopi lullaby and a Pueblo corn grinding song.

The instrumentation of the piece is without percussion as the original intent of the work was to "Make it cheap" to play. It features double winds and brass with the exception of a 3rd horn part. The level of playing for the strings is quite advanced and the piece is suitable for all-county, all-state, youth orchestras, semiprofessional and professional groups.

Some of the advanced techniques required involve heavy double-stopping and high shifting positions for the strings and Hans Zimmer style cuivre for the horns (NOTE: NOT STOPPED HORN) as well as upward rips.

The included MP3 recording is the first live performance of the work by the amateur group it was composed for, but I am confident that this piece will prove to be fun and exciting to play for even professional orchestras.

This set contains 1 of each part. Permission is given to create copies of the parts for each player in the orchestra as needed.

The work has been quite popular with those who have played it.
