    Incantations
    By Robert W. Smith
    Item: 00-BD00973
    Series: Concert Band
    Format: Conductor Score & Parts
    Level: 3
    Rhythmic and exciting contemporary writing for concert band. The inner drive topped with great splashes of color will identify the bold strokes of composer Robert W. Smith. The images are sharp and intense. The drive is non stop. Highly recommended! (5:23)

    YES! FINALLY!! I LOVE THIS PIECE (if you can't tell....). Brings me back to freshman year of high school, 9 years ago. I played 3rd Clarinet but was holding it down. Robert W Smith is such a fantastic composer! I hope to meet him in person some day to tell him how much I appreciate his work

    It's like you take into the storm and great locomotive chase and then put them together, but ironically this song is older than both of them. So this time two of my favorite Robert W. Smith's pecies came from this one.
