Curnow Music Canzone Antica (Grade 2.5 - Score Only) Concert Band Level 2.5 Composed by Stephen Bulla

CANZONE ANTICA translates as ancient song. The dark mystery of the Middle Ages, from plainsong and cowled robes to shrouded medieval architecture, permeates a misty atmosphere as your band roams the catacombs in this powerful composition. Steeped in ancient history and opening with a short basso ostinato, Stephen Bulla masterfully weaves a tapestry of mystic percussion sounds, enigmatic harmonies that are sometimes open and sometimes dense, in a style that evokes ancient choral traditions.
