Program Notes

Celebration in Brass was originally conceived as a fanfare for brass choir to be used during a church performance. The work was expanded to a full-length concert piece with the inclusion of a slower section and a return to the opening material. The finished work, though larger in scope than a fanfare, should still retain a fanfare's jubilant, festive character.
