Program Notes
Superbly crafted composition by James Swearingen, perfect as a concert opener. Bold and stately, its lush scoring (especially for the F horns) gives it a majestic appeal that is truly special.
Exordium (Prelude to a New Era) was commissioned for the Bicentennial Celebration of Centerville-Washington Township, Ohio, 1796-1996.
