Program Notes
This delightful overture has a slightly British sound that is perfect for concert or contest performances by developing bands. The bright allegro section features strong melodic themes in the woodwinds that are followed by an impressive melody for all of the lower instruments. The adagio section includes solos for trumpet and flute before building to a lush full band sound.
Nottingham Sketches was commissioned by and is dedicated to the Seventh Grade Honors Band in District XIII of the Ohio Music Education Association.
