Four composing pieces for wind bands from Grades 1-4+

Each piece in the 13 Moons set provides the director and their students with a set of pitch material based in a particular key, including scales, melody, counter-melody, accompaniment, ostinato etc..

Commissioned by the University of British Columbia Conducting Symposium Consortium, Symposium hosted by Dr. Robert Taylor, consortium led by Janet Wade.
