Crossing the Bosporus, Jukka Viitasaari, Concert Band

Crossing the Bosporus
Jukka Viitasaari - Grand Mesa Music

Written by a Finnish composer, this piece has a compelling Eastern flavor created by extensive use of the harmonic minor scale. Starting with a bravura trumpet solo, it blossoms into a duet for two aggressive trumpet players, eventually showcasing all sections as it progresses to its exciting conclusion.
A compelling tour de force for band.
