Like rays of light beaming through stained glass windows, this show will make your band shine! The church bells can be heard faintly in the mysterious introduction of the show, as the band's sound emerges with a grand 'Amen' plagal cadence. The energetic opener uses material from David Gillingham's percussion ensemble masterpiece of the same name, Stained Glass. The sounds of the cathedral continue as Bach's Little Fugue in G minor feature some excellent wind section work with tasty battery percussion to compliment. Debussy's Engulfed Cathedral will build to a glorious moment for your band. The show finishes with a lively modern take on the Shaker Hymn and appropriately concludes with one more 'Amen' to close the cathedral doors on this immaculate production for your marching season.
