Concert Band
Andante Religioso
Gebet - Prayer - Prière- Preghiera - Plegaria
Info
Initially, Thiemo Kraas wrote his "Andante religioso" as a woodwind quintet for the occasion of a good friend’s marriage. He then later edited this touching piece for the full wind band. He focused on keeping the tender and intimate charm of the music, despite the larger instrumentation. "Andate religioso" is so called absolute music, not being based on any issue or story; the music affects people just from the inside. You can perform this piece even with a smaller band, thanks to a reasonable use of cues. So bands that for example have no saxophones or horns, can also play the piece in an appealing version. As percussions are used in a subtle way, you can perform this composition at clerical occasions.
