Kinesis

MusicWorks - Grade 3 Drawing its title from the Greek word for motion, this marvelously paced work from Michael Sweeney explores various forms of motion within the concert band setting. The fanfare-like opening uses interplaybetween the brass, percussion and woodwinds and is followed by a driving main theme. The slow motion middle section uses a striking harmonic scheme stated first by the woodwinds and some unusual orchestration devices, beforereturning to an expanded version of the main theme and dramatic ending. This rewarding and fresh-sounding composition will leave a lasting impression on players and listeners alike. (5:50)
