Prelude and Pursuit by : Michael Sweeney
John Barnes Chance composed his landmark work for band; Incantation and Dance; in 1960 while in residence at the high school in Greensboro; North Carolina. Commissioned by the Union County (NC) Honor Band; Prelude and Pursuit pays tribute to this important composition and its North Carolina connection. A haunting chant-like theme played by the clarinets sets the tone for the slow section. Similar to Chance's work; the fast section begins with percussion instruments introducing thematic elements later picked up and developed by the winds. Intensifying rhythmic elements; as well as carefully controlled random playing effects; contribute to an overall sense of excitement and anticipation. Themes are woven throughout various sections of the band before the opening chant motif makes a brief dramatic appearance near the end. A great teaching tool for young players; Prelude and Pursuit also provides a rewarding performance experience. Dur: 4:50
