Program Notes
The majestic beauty and soaring flight of the eagle is depicted in this concert overture. The main theme is brisk and angular, while the slower lyrical melody is stately and flowing. It will impressively show off the developing musicianship of each section of the young band.
- Program Note from publisher
Commissioned by the 2007 Charles C. Erwin Middle School Band, Salisbury, NC, Sonya Ferguson, director; in celebration of the school's 40th anniversary and in honor of Elliott Mathis, assistant principal.
