Voyage, The
Arranger/Composer: Allen Houston
Item Code: 08700
Publisher: C. Alan Publications
The Voyage is a unique piece, in that it requires the performers to move to different instruments throughout the performance. Two sets of parts are included: one set for the individual players to practice with and one set to be placed at each instrument station. The piece is set primarily in a quick 7/8 meter with departures to more common meters such as 3/4 and 4/4. The harmonic and rhythmic language is such that performers and audiences alike will love to take The Voyage.
