Description
In 1780, Lord Charles Cornwallis attempted to invade Charlotte, but the city’s residents united and expelled him. General Cornwallis went on to describe the city as “a hornet’s nest of rebellion.” In this Revolutionary War inspired piece, a strong florid melody is passed around the various sections of the ensemble. This work is a great opportunity for more advanced bands to focus on stylistic playing between the bright and triumphant theme and quieter larghetto passage. Students will enjoy taking a trip back in time with this piece full of Colonial American vigor.
