Program Notes

Exhibiting all of the factors which have made him such a popular composer of original works for band such as intelligent, idiomatic writing for each instrument, great playability, singable themes, rhythmic vitality, interesting percussion parts and, in short, an uncanny understanding of the school concert band and student musicians.

Centuria is dedicated to the C. L. Barnhouse Company in honor of their 100 years of service to music educators throughout the world.
