MusicWorks - Grade 3
The Native American Omaha Tribe believed in an inseparable union between earth and sky. Commissioned for the Nebraska All-State 8th Grade Band, Michael Sweeney's Earth and Sky celebrates this ideal with a balance of woodwind motifs and delicate textures (sky) contrasted with an underlying percussion ostinato and feature spots (earth). Rich chordal accompaniments and soaring melodies provide continuity and flow in this dynamic work for band.

I remember the comments I left here while playing this song as a freshman. Now I'm a senior. Time flies.

[@Omunkis]

This song is so nostalgic to me, I remember playing it in my first year of highschool

[@anotherzombie8330]

playing this on Feb 10 as trumpet 2 woot

[@missseaweed2462]

I'll always adore Michael Sweeney and his music. This is the second piece of his that I have played, the first having been Arrows.

[@synthfreak721]

Miss Seaweed Arrows is by Samuel R Hazo, although Michael Sweeney's pieces are lovely, especially Earthdance

[@missseaweed2462]

synthfreak721 Oh yes, I'd actually found that out after I had commented this. Thank you, though.

[@joursdeTJ]

Of all the songs I played in High School Band, Earthdance will always be my favourite

[@missseaweed2462]

Ose Ibazebo We haven't played Earthdance.

[@joursdeTJ]

Miss Seaweed It's a really fun song

tolles stück

[@nolancollins9086]

I should see if i can get our band to play this 2 straight years of OMEA district 13 first chair alto sax in honor band (although its only 8th/9th grade so it cant mean that much can it) and I prefer the written solos in concert to the improvisation ones in jazz by far, so i get excited seeing these kinds of pieces

[@mannymanatee6592]
