Ryan Nowlin is
a new composer to the
Standard of Excellence In
Concert series of concert
band compositions for
young bands. Mr. Nowlin
currently teaches
instrumental music in the
Breckville-Broadview
Heights School District
(Ohio) where he directs
high school wind
ensemble, marching band,
and jazz ensemble. Ryan's
Steadfast Overture uses
lyrical melodies that are
very accessible to the
beginning musician.
Written in overture form,
this piece gives young
students a chance to be
expressive. The main
theme in each occurrence
is treated in a different
fashion, keeping it fresh
to the ear. Although the
middle section is
performed at the same
tempo, the phrase
structure and feel
provide the distinct
contrast necessary in an
overture. Perfect for one
of your first concerts or
contest/festival
performances!
