Symphonic Dance No. 3 by Clifton Williams

In the song Symphonic Dance No. 3 by Clifton Williams the instrumentation that I hear is:
tuba, percussion, baritone, trombone, baritone saxophone, flute, bells, clarinet, piccolo, trumpet, french horn. This piece starts off as a dance and turns into a waltz half way though, but then turns back into a dance. There is a lot of dynamic contrast in the piece. Each instrument that has the melody plays at a different dynamic. The piece starts out very loud and bold and also has a lot of forte piano's which gives it a lot more dynamic contrast, but later turns into a quiet soft melody. It switches between the two dynamics a lot. This piece has lots of musically and technically challenging parts. There is a bunch of accents, staccatos,fermatas that are throughout the piece making it technically challenging. There is also a lot of big dynamic changes that make this piece musically challenging. There are no instruments that keep counter-melody. However the low brass instruments tend to keep the bass line through out the piece, and the other brass instruments usually keep the melody. There is also lots of patterns and repetition throughout this piece of music. The melody repeats itself a bunch of times throughout the music. During the repetition of the melody the counter-melody and bass line are the same as well. I particularly like the speed and emotion of this piece. It has a nice melody and very good dynamics. Overall I like this piece because it shows a bunch of different emotions and parts throughout the song. It also has completely different styles in it which is very had to play, and has so many different dynamics and speed.
