Suite for a New Day

By

Leonardo P. Duarte


Commissioned by the Chico High School Symphonic Band, this work is dedicated to their director and long time friend, Mr. Karol Forrest. The first movement marked "Furioso" depicts such emotions as rage and fury, with dissonant sounds that keep reoccurring. This soon turns to laughter with intermittent suggestions of humility. With varied rhythms, and Spanish flavored melodies this section presents some challenges for the more advanced musician. The second movement called "First Love" is a Ballad and features a solo trumpet. The harmonies are lush and full of passion. The last movement entitled "Jubilation" and marked Vivace calls upon the virtuosity of the woodwinds, and power from all the brass. Each section of the band gets a chance to shine.
This piece is suitable for Concert or Festival
