Hal Leonard Arabesque Concert Band Level 5 Composed by Samuel R. Hazo

Commissioned by the Indiana Bandmasters Association for the 2008 All-State High School Honor Band, this stunning work from the pen of Samuel Hazo is a tour de force of Middle Eastern sounds for the contemporary wind band. From delicate and sensual soloistic writing to full-blown ensemble passages with rapid fire tutti rhythms and frenzied percussion, here is a rewarding piece with drama and depth that will be the high point of any concert or festival program. Period! Dur: 6:00 (Grade 5) Audio recorded live by the 2008 North Carolina 11-12 All-State Honor Band - Samuel R. Hazo, conductor
