Description:
'Anniversary Overture' was commissioned in 1968 as a twenty-first birthday piece for Hong Kong Philharmonic Society, and is a four-minute firework display for orchestra. Within the framework of a two-four Allegro giubiloso, Arnold alternates two major themes, one breezy, the other tender, developing them extensively and landing resoundingly in F major. This new transcription brings an exuberant work to the field of symphonic wind band for the first time.
