listen.about.
“And out of all of that natural beauty the silence seems to be overtaken by resounding music.” Rigby’s majestic work for band, inspired by the Tonto National Forest in Arizona, is a beautiful example of nature come to life through music, perfect for any medium-level ensemble.
The Tonto National Forest in Arizona encompasses a particularly beautiful section of the Sonoran Desert. Deep in its mountains one can find perfect silence, far from the reaches of the populated world. Living within that silence however, are all kinds of animals and plants unique to the area. And out of all of that natural beauty the silence seems to be overtaken by resounding music – music that reflects the majesty that this wonderful place has to offer. Sonoran Splendor captures that majesty and brings the music to life.
