Restless

Restless is a Grade 3.5 work for band available for purchase from Carl Fischer. This piece weaves together minor modal carols with the ancient Dies irae theme, using hypnotic mallet patterns and driving rhythms to capture the tension between anxiety and calm. The music evokes a midnight desert scene with mysterious riders moving through shifting sands, featuring restless forward motion and moments of reflection that engage performers and audiences alike. Ideal for advanced ensembles seeking fresh repertoire that connects centuries of musical tradition with contemporary energy.
