Description:
A dynamic new concert overture that derives most of its force and material from the striking fanfare motive announced in the opening measure by horns and trumpets (concert E-flat, B-flat, A-flat, D-flat). The bold opening in compound time is followed by a suave and flowing Adagio in 4/4 meter, that makes a lovely tune out of a variant of the opening motive. At measure 103, with a marimba solo, the Allegro style and compound meter return for a rousing and invigorating climax. This piece is a significant new addition to the band repertoire for concert and contest.
