Program Notes
Elizabeth Raum provides the following program note for One Hundred Years of Fanfares:
This fanfare is meant to commemorate Saskatchewan’s centenary with the events of the first 100 years being represented as ‘echoes’ of fanfares. The piece begins with a clarion call from the brass, the fanfares of the present culminating in the Maestoso. Then the music becomes more distant, fanfares of the past, played by the woodwinds and muted brass. The transition brings us back to the present with the return to the band’s full salute to Saskatchewan’s centennial.
The piece was commissioned by the Saskatchewan Band Association, and premiered by the National Youth Band of Canada during their performances in the province.
