While the mighty and majestic treetops are what I’m drawn to first, I’ve come to enjoy observing and investigating the environment that exists beneath the canopy. It is here where many birds, animals, and insects make their homes; where mushrooms and mosses magically appear; and where visitors to the forest leave footprints on trails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeneath the Canopy\u003c\/em\u003e is a hopeful, uplifting, and energetic piece for concert band that is meant to evoke a walk through the woods. The layers of melodies and harmonies throughout the piece represent the various levels of the forest, from the ground to the understory and up to the canopy. The colours and textures within the ensemble depict the flora, fauna, and funga of the forest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was commissioned by the Vancouver Technical Secondary School Senior Band, directed by Amanda Killburn and Elizabeth Riegert. It was originally composed for flexible band instrumentation in five parts. This version for full concert band provides opportunities for all sections of the ensemble to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCommissioned by the Vancouver Technical Secondary School Senior Band\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grade 3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcert band: \u003c\/strong\u003eFlute 1-2, oboe, bassoon, clarinet 1-2, bass clarinet, alto saxophone 1-2, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, trumpet 1-2, horn, trombone 1-2, euphonium, tuba, timpani, marimba, glockenspiel, suspended cymbal\/snare drum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e5-part flex ensemble:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Part 1 (flute, oboe, clarinet), Part 2 (flute, oboe, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet), Part 3 (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, trumpet, horn), Part 4 (tenor saxophone, bass clarinet, bassoon, horn, trombone, euphonium), Part 5 (bassoon, bass clarinet, baritone saxophone, trombone, euphonium, tuba), percussion\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: \u003c\/strong\u003eBand version includes two copies of all instrumental parts \/\/ Flex version includes one copy of all instrumental parts.
