Haim Permont: Hillulah

  
Hillulah means feast or happy commotion in Hebrew.  Composed for the young people of the Petakh-Tikva (Israel) conservatory wind band, it will showcase your ensemble's expression, technique, and brilliance of sound.  Broad-sweeping scoring, asymmetrical rhythmic ostinati, tonal and modal melodies plus several bi-tonal sections all add up to a highly dramatic work.  The ending is punctuated with sforzando chords, effective use of percussion and driving rhythms that build to a sweeping climax.  Intensity, contrast, exotic scales - this piece has it all!
