Fast, driving, and full of attitude, Top Speed by Randall Standridge pushes young ensembles into high gear. Set in an unusual fast 3/4 meter and in B♭ major, this Grade 1.5 work blends elements of minimalism with the edge of heavy metal and the energy of pop music.
Aggressive percussion writing, bold rhythmic figures, and standout low brass licks fuel the momentum from start to finish. Exciting yet accessible, Top Speed makes a powerful opener or closer for concerts and festival performances alike.
