Rondeau Royale

Description

Rondeau Royale was carefully composed to address the needs of both advancing and developing band students. The melody, countermelody and accompaniment include varied articulations as well as changes in dynamics and texture. Its written in a rondo form where, after the introduction, the main theme is stated, followed by short episodes that change the texture and character of the piece. The title Rondeau Royale takes on the French spelling, essentially translating as a “royal” or “regal” rondo.
