Thank you for performing the fast sections at the CORRECT tempo. I hear so many recordings where the tempo is rushed and the rhythms compressed and distorted.
someone one help me wit my band work The Hounds of Spring - Alfred Reed 1. How does Reed portray springtime in this piece? What kind of sounds and mood does he use to do this? 2. There’s a change to the piece being slower at 2:08. What do you think this represents? 3. What does the conductor do so that the band can play better? How are the players responding to his conducting? 4. What kind of percussion instruments are being used? 5. Why do you think the band sits in the formation it does? (i.e., where instruments sit in relation to each other, the shape of the formation itself)
