Bold and dramatic, this new work by composer Robert W. Smith will be a welcome addition to the standard repertoire for the developing band. Beginning with a powerful brass statement, the woodwinds and percussion respond in an equally forceful manner. Using unique harmonic effects for this level of performance, "Mirages" provides excellent opportunities forall sections of the band to grow and flourish in a more mature musical setting. "Mirages" will be a valued resource to your concert programming and teaching literature for many years to come!
