Frank Ticheli has a new work out entitled “Acadiana.” It is classic Ticheli. What I mean by this is that Ticheli is known for using his sense of swing time, jazzy riffs in the clarinets and upper woodwinds. The flow of the jazz-inspired sounds go to the brass and the lower instruments. This piece (I believe) may be inspired by Ticheli’s intense love for jazz that was sparked from an early age.

The tapping of the Jazz rhythms in the background really accentuate this further. If you’re looking for another band work for your concert band or wind ensemble, this may be the perfect one for you. It’s not that hard in style or execution. It is rather straight-forward and demonstrative. The work is a fabulous reflection of the swing era. You can get a sense of Glenn Miller and many other artists that dominated the jazz landscape. This is great for beginning musicians who don't have a knowledge of musical history. This piece gives them something to look up to and look forward to. Like most of Tichel’s work, the piece comprises of a simple jazz section followed by a more illustrious section where the whole band breaks out in style. It sure makes me miss band, Even though I was never in band begin with. It inspires the composer within everybody to start writing music like this. There is even a salsa break mid piece. The trumpets take charge and that one by having a high melody. 收起全文
