New Horizons

Grade 1 - 3:06

New Horizons is a reflection on the excitement and thrill of engaging in something new. We move with a flourish at the start of our new endeavor, before settling in and reflecting upon our new obsession. We bring back the original excitement when we realize what we can do and what we have accomplished. The song is built to paint a musical picture of what it is like to learn something new musically, and the song itself is built for younger musicians learning to play. The main melody is built using only the first 6 notes of the Concert B-flat major scale (although some parts do stretch beyond those 6 notes). Some parts have divisi written in that are optional if some performers want to push themselves.
