Break of the Code

“Break of the Code” sounds like the score to an adventure movie. The hero goes on a quest for a secret – an old Pharaoh’s tomb. Will he eventually break the code and reveal the secret? This small but impressive concert piece carries Stephen Melillos unmistakable thumb-print and invites the musicians on an exciting journey. The thrilling and at times very heroic tone language does not demand too much technical ability, providing a great sound experience for beginners and young players.

For the clarinet players this piece also offers access to a specific secret – the register change. Stephen Melillo created the clarinet parts of “Break of the Code” to offer a certain challenge regarding the register change, but in an educationally appropriate way. This exciting concert piece helps young instrumentalists to successfully deal with the double twelfth key.
