Scroll down and click the link for "Last World Standng". Click on Score to see the score, in its entirety, and read the score notes...

I think this composer is looking things right in the face and is on the verge of something big. All of the composers mentioned thus far have been orchestral; we are forgetting wind band (guilty as well... and I teach it and play in one...). Thoughts?

Glenn,

We've discussed non orchestral composers. Scroll back. None that have written anything much for wind band, however (although I may be wrong). The wind band was certainly considered to be a wonderful ensemble by Mozart, R. Strauss, Hindemith, and many others (!)

I suspect that the piece that you've directed us to is for wind band and MAX/MSP. A well designed patch can trigger both sound (prerecorded or live processing) and visuals (iMovies, in this case). Max is a multi-mediaist's dream.

Thanks for the link to an interesting page,
