I. The Sandstorm by T. D. Erickson
for Wind Band 
 12 votes,   Average: 4.5   Plays: 3780


First part of a trilogy, "Views of the North Valley". When the winds kick up in the North Valley of Albuquerque, blinding sandstorms (that can become mud storms) kick up. They help shape the region, and clear out tumbleweeds and other debris. This piece is an attempt to capture the fun of it all. For full concert band.

Maybe I should say southwest, NOT midwest....what is wrong with me! (I am from Kansas...that is what's wrong with me!)

Again, nice! I know the southwest when the winds kick up, I am down here in the midwest, and the same thing happens in the desert here in Tucson! This is starting to become my favorite song you did, but it's still close. (I will not say anything about quantizing)...oh, sorry I just did. You know your stuff is good, and after hearing others that are not so great, yours shines. Thanks for sharing your music! 5+++++ stars on this one.
