The National Band Association is pleased to announce that Gradients<\/em> by Andrew David Perkins is the winning composition of the 2018 NBA\/Alfred Young Band Composition Contest. \u00a0Mr. Perkins says the following about his piece:<\/p>\n

“\u200bIn physics, gradients can describe\u00a0an increase or decrease in the magnitude of a property (e.g., temperature, pressure, or concentration) observed in passing from one point or moment to another.\u00a0In mathematics, the gradient is a synonym for slope. It points in the direction of the greatest rate of increase of a function, and its magnitude is the slope of the graph in that direction. \u00a0Gradients<\/em> for Concert Band is a synthesis of these ideas, designed for developing musicians. The gradient concept is expressed through dynamics, cluster chords (including a simple 4 mallet marimba part) and extensive use of the melodic minor scale.”<\/p>\n
