ABOUT THIS ARRANGEMENT
Blue Nova Fanfare is a vibrant and energetic composition for younger ensembles that depicts the beauty of nebulas in outer space. While there are moments of the piece where everyone is playing together, there are also moments where melodic lines are passed from part to part, weaving in and out of the texture in similar fashion to a tapestry of many shining stars.
