Third part of a trilogy, "Views of the North Valley". For ten days in October each year, the North Valley is home to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the largest hot-air ballooning event on Earth. Sections of this piece are dedicated to the events schedule of a typical day of the Fiesta, such as Dawn Patrol, Mass Ascension, America's Challenge race, Balloon Glow and the Fireworks. It ends with a reprise of the Sandstorm theme. For full concert band.
dickdona Really like this Balloon Fiesta. It's just right.

Account Closed I love your compositions, they are all so awesome. Really, these are very good pieces. If I had any critical thing to say it would be on the percussion being quantized. I really don't like things quantized, and your music is right there at the verge of breaking free and this mechanical computer MIDI quantizing takes away some of the human emotion of the song. That is all I can find wrong with it..I give it still 5 stars, and more! 5+++
