Epiphany (noun): a moment of sudden revelation or insight.
Highlighting most sections of the band with "conversations" happening all over the place, there is no true moment until the ending when everyone plays together. That is the Epiphany! of the piece!
Features and learning objectives:
- Dynamics (contrast and cresc./dim.)
- First six notes of B♭scale
- Orchestration (no block scoring, conversational, passing melody between sections)
- Counting (some irregular phrasing)
