Eric Osterling (1926-2005), sometimes referred to as the Schubert of the band world due to his unusual gift for melody, was a noted band composer and Director of Music for the Portland, Connecticut Public Schools. He will beremembered by many as the composer of the very popular Nutmeggers March, Waltzing Winds and many other equally delightful selections for band. The study is written in modern style with lush harmonies and pleasing tonal effects.Listening to the work, one almost has the sensation of being bathed in sound! It is as the title indicates, a study in harmonic and bandstration color. Containing no programmatic elements of lofty ideals, it is music written fromthe heart to the heart. Versions for clarinet choir and band are available from the publisher.
