NORTH BRIDGE PORTRAIT GRADE 4 BULLA (44003933 ) (Band Concert )

Contrasting colors and stylistic shifts trace the historic events surrounding the shot heard 'round the world in this challenging concert band work by Stephen Bulla. A rhapsodic adventure, NORTH BRIDGE PORTRAIT takes us from the merry atmosphere of the pre-revolutionary town through foreboding militant sounds. The fife-and-drum melody, Washington's March, leads inexorably to the historic beginning of the American colonies' struggle for freedom. Vivid images combine to make this descriptive composition a memorable experience for all.
