Artistically, we endeavor to live and thrive right where legacy and
tradition meet innovation and progress…We have no chance of getting
where we want to go without music that has the potential to empower,
enrich and change lives. The music we choose to spend our life with
and bring to the lives of others should have a convincing and compelling
reason for being.
Eugene Corporon
Whether or not these pieces are “hidden gems,” (they may just be hidden in the back of
your library) they are examples of some excellent repertoire for young and developing
ensembles. For the simple purpose of organization, they have been placed into one of
four categories:
•
Canadian Content
•
Lyrical Repertoire
•
Exciting Repertoire
•
‘Band’tiques ™
