Boosey and Hawkes Ride Concert Band Level 5 Composed by Samuel R. Hazo

Ride is a high-velocity piece inspired by a landscape-blurring car ride down a country road in Pennsylvania. Beginning and ending in the same key to symbolize going from one home to another, Ride zooms through harmonic and metric changes in between to take listeners and musicians for a ride before building to a furious climax.
