Review: “Flashpoint” by John Moss

John Moss has provided the band world with another terrific band composition. “Flashpoint” is one of his latest “educational music” renditions published by Hal Leonard. John composed the piece as a commission project collaboration with Michigan’s District VIII MSBOA, who funded the project.

His music is always interesting as he seeks a “non-formula” viewpoint within his traditional “pantonal” language. His background as a commercial writer provides a wide viewpoint, but his music is never commercial. The compositions of John Moss are always musically sound and compositionally well-crafted.

Hal Leonard has released a CD, entitled “The Music of John Moss”. It is a quality reference recording for band directors and students alike.
