Band

American Composer's Forum - BandQuest Series - Grade 3 Mosaic is an aural representation of the varied qualities each of us possess and contribute to the whole of our American society. As a kaleidoscope of various musical elements coming together, this work evokes a visual of mosaics - tiny tiles individually glued together to create a broader image. Composer Stephen Paulus integrates layers of sound with varying meters that feature every instrument in the band.

Here is a terrific arrangement written with a lilting style and lushly scored with rich harmonies.
