Description:
A fresh and cheerful overture written in simple ABA form. Opening with a strong march-like feel in 2/4 time, the beginning section has a joyous melody that is first introduced in the trumpet section. The slower B section in 3/4 time, introduced by the clarinets, contrasts delightfully with the recurring A theme that ends the piece. This exceptional satisfying overture will challenge the early musicianship of the younger and developing players.
