Description

Taking the three notes chosen by Dr. Joe Scagnoli, the subject of Giving's Commission, the work sets out to describe a great phenomenon of Music... that of Giving. For me, this piece is what it feels like... to Give. The piece is opportunely scored for the double reeds and low reeds, with plenty of opportunity for all forces in the ensemble to explore exciting new drama and colour.

Please visit the Score and Score Notes for more detailed information.

This piece is from the STORMWORKS Chapter 1 CD.

Testimonials

"Doc (and Steve)-- I just had to write to you and tell you about tonight's concert! I did GIVING with Wind Ensemble! It was amazing. I just felt like I was on top of the world at the climax of the piece! I was literally shaking at the end, it was just so emotional! Everyone just raved about it afterwards! There was a nice article in the paper yesterday previewing the concert, and it explained the dedication and all in the article. Many people were very touched by the piece! What a wonderful evening! We will be taking GIVING on tour with us next month! I can hardly wait! Hope everything is great where you are! Take Care!" -Chris Day, Indiana University
