Approaching Coast - Brass Choir with Percussion

Adventure, pirates and stormy weather. Let this short, exciting piece by David Marlatt take your audience on a seafaring ride through the crashing ocean. Energetic, crisp, and punctuated chords are found in the first section which is followed by a calm, smooth and quiet contrast using a pentatonic scale which gives it a slightly Asian feel. The aggressive articulated rhythms return and this work comes to a dramatic conclusion with both themes played simultaneously. Enjoy the adventure on the wild seas as you see The Approaching Coast.
