Program Notes

All the Best is a happy, upbeat piece by Otto M. Schwarz. He has already composed several pieces in this genre, including Fire & Ice, Last Call, and Funky Brass, and is constantly looking for ways to adapt new and interesting sounds and rhythms for concert band.

- Program Note from publisher

Dedicated to "Musikverein 1860 Rickenbach" on the occasion of the 150th orchestra anniversary.

- Program Note from score

All the Best!” These words expressing good fortune are often heard at occasions such as birthdays, or other changes life may bring. Schwarz wrote this exciting piece after receiving a commission from the music association in Richenbach, Germany, who wanted an upbeat concert work to celebrate their anniversary and to serve as a “signature tune” for the band.
