Mirroring Feldspar

Akira Kosemura & Lawrence English - Mirroring Feldspar

Performed by the Indiana University Concert Band under the baton of Dr. Eric Smedley

I’ve often been told, “When writing for band, you can’t think like a guitarist”.  This was always a bit difficult for me, as I’m, well, a guitarist.  I struggled with finding the “right” way to think about band for years, and that always kept me at somewhat of a distance from the band world.  I felt like an outsider, which in many ways, I am.  You see, guitar is a very attack-based instrument.  When played, there’s a strong initial attack on the strings, followed by a rapid decay of the note.  And while wind and brass can certainly make strong attacks, they can also perform the opposite – near silent initial attacks with long, sustained tones.  I struggled with this idea of, “…you can’t think like a guitarist”, until I decided to just embrace my “attack-y” way of thinking, and make it work for band.  This piece wholly embraces my guitar way of thinking, and incorporates many influences from guitar based music – most notably, heavy metal.  It is my hope that you can think like a guitarist and make it work for this amazing ensemble.
