Missa Festi (Music for a Festival) David Shaffer

Rising Band
Opening with a dramatic fanfare which incorporates a gracious and flowing melody, this exciting piece builds in power and tension to a bright Allegro. This section incorporates a simple but effective melody in the trumpets and is reintroduced several times throughout the piece, modified by tempo, phrase length and instrumentation. An exciting piece to prepare with your students and a powerful performance composition for your audiences, Missa Festi is a perfect selection for contest or festival.
