About this Piece Erin Lilliefors
Sun Dancer Fanfare starts with a broad introduction of the melody, then immediately moves to top speed with driving rhythm from the “found percussion.” Melodically, the theme is passed around the voice and developed in the B section in a longer, augmented way. The ostinato rhythm acts as a metronome and pushes the band persistently toward a percussive end.
I wrote the original theme as a graduate school entrance piece, then transformed it for my students in Winnsboro, Texas. Because of its fast pace and repetitive, infectious melody, the students took to it immediately and really enjoyed working on the piece. Their enthusiasm inspired me to revisit and redraft it to reach a broader range of instruments, and thus, more classrooms. |
