Description

Seasons (Saisons) is a major four-movement work by the prominent Swiss composer Jean Balissat. The suite consists of Procession, Nocturne, Scherzo, and Hymn, each musically depicting the changing character of the year. Balissat’s style is symphonic and evocative, utilizing the full range of the brass band to create grand, cinematic landscapes. It is a substantial and rewarding work that serves as an impressive centerpiece for a high-level concert program or a test piece for a championship-grade competition.

Difficulty 5

(Hard) Arrangements with a difficulty 5 begin to introduce polyrhythm’s and asymmetrical meters. Changing meters are much more frequent and instrumentation may be more diverse, and include piano, harp, or unusual instruments.
