Wim Laseroms: Shake Hands!: Concert Band: Score & Parts

In this march with swing inflections the dominant element is the syncopated rhythm. Presented in the wind and percussion it gives the piece a balanced character. Shake Hands! opens with a powerful introduction leading to a presentation of the superb melody. A solo on the bass tonic forms the transition phase leading to a reprise of the initial theme bringing the work to a lively conclusion.
