This impressive yet easy contemporary piece makes young musicians sound beyond their years. The rhythmic ostinato at the beginning gives the impression of a complex meter, while what the young musicians are reading is actually easy to understand; and the relentless energy once again proves that James Curnow composes exciting concert fare for every ability level. The eight measures leading up to the flashpoint are a great spot to work on breath control through the gradual, powerful crescendo. Ignite your next concert with Flashpoint!
