Program Notes

A broad maestoso opening leads to a brighter rhythmic passage before moving into a majestic middle section that is resplendent with the sounds of the English countryside.

Chesford Portrait was commissioned by and is dedicated to the Bath High School Bands, Lima, Ohio, Harry Folk and Dale Laukhuf, directors.
