Program Notes

Dedicated to William (Bill) Maupin, a friend and fellow music educator of Claude T. Smith, Castlebrooke Overture is a perfect piece to introduce younger ensembles to meter changes and a couple measures in 3/8 time.

The majesty presented in the opening andante section of the work develops into the allegro moderato section, which celebrates the symbiotic partnership experienced by Mr. Maupin as the middle school director working in tandem with Mr. Smith at the high school as a music education dynamo in Chillicothe, Missouri. Maupin and Smith experienced what any pair of instrumental educators would hope for as a team between their school band programs, shared success through their students. The ideas of majesty, adventure and success through teamwork are heartfelt in this work for younger ensembles.
