Product Information
- Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night (Concert Band) Concert Band Level 5 Composed by Elliot Del Borgo
- The Dylan Thomas poem Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night was the motivation for this musical composition
- While not a programmatic depiction of the poem, the work attempts to recreate the essence of the poem in sound
- The opening motive, representative of the life force, permeates much of the work
- The use of sound layers - in the form of polytonal hymns - calls to mind the struggles and persistence of the human spirit and its refusal to go gentle
