Description:
This piece is the result of a collaborative project between the composer and his wife's 6th grade beginning band. The students in her band class each wrote an eight-measure melody as a composition project. These melodies each start and end on concert B-flat and use only the notes the students have learned on their instruments. The class voted on 'Majestic Night, Oh Winter Night' by Sarah Gunter as the best melody. Compositional terms such as repetition, fragmentation, and augmentation were taught to the 6th graders in a new piece that was written just for them.
