In his words, waves can be “gentle yet powerful, peaceful yet treacherous, [both] beautiful and formidable.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough relatively accessible thanks to a groove- and ostinato-based nature, this work provides a number of musical challenges. A quick tempo of 200 bpm is paired with complex time signatures; this most often means 7\/8, but it frequently shifts into 10\/8, 12\/8, and more straightforward meters like 3\/4 and 4\/4. Harmonically, Willmarth explores a fresh palette of jazzy ideas, including frequent chord extensions, quartal\/quintal harmony, chordal planing, and tasteful dissonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndividual parts present a fun technical challenge, too! All keyboard players use four mallets throughout, shifting between techniques including block chords, broken arpeggios, and permutations. The drum set writing is reminiscent of a big band tune, and an optional “chart-style” part is included in case the player more naturally understands that genre of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn writing this work, Willmarth has created an experience that’s as invigorating to listen to as it is to play. It would be an excellent intermediate-advanced ensemble piece for concerts, contests, or arrangement into a pageantry setting!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWaves\u003c\/strong\u003e ships as a printed, professionally bound score, and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or tablet viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the \u003cstrong\u003eprinted score\u003c\/strong\u003e you are receiving downloadable:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✅\u003cstrong\u003e Individual Parts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✅\u003cstrong\u003e Full Recording\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1237067500\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/tapspacepublications\" title=\"Tapspace\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/tapspacepublications\/waves-john-willmarth\" title=\"Waves (John Willmarth)\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/tapspace\/docs\/waves-sample?fr=sNjkzMzQ3NzQwNDM\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/2973\/7494\/files\/download_score_sample_small_aa1b4422-f724-4b42-9953-49885710a3e6.png?v=1669204745\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tapspace Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44088100421910,"sku":"TSPCE22-005","price":58.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/2973\/7494\/products\/51954416457_d9b36e8272_o.jpg?v=1675269619","url":"https:\/\/concertandmarchingmusic.com\/es\/products\/waves-tapspace","provider":"Concert \u0026 Marching Music ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
