Program Notes
Three Fanfares for a Celebration is a collection of celebratory musical statements composed for concert band and written for performance at various festive occasions.
Celebration Fanfare is a regal ceremonial opener that was originally written as the opening statement of Buffalo Dances. The fanfare was created to celebrate and capture the vibrancy of a beautiful town in the great state of Minnesota. Celebration Fanfare, as well as the entire work, was commissioned by and dedicated to Lee Kjesbo, Scott Rabehl and the Buffalo High School Band.
Festive Fanfare is an energetic and enthusiastic composition that was created as a gift from the 2005 graduating seniors of the Pikesville, (Maryland) High School Band to their director, Mr. Tedd Wilson. The work was originally premiered under the title Wilson Fanfare: To Laud and Honor.
Dedicatory Fanfare was composed for the dedication of the Claudia Crosby Theater on the campus of Troy University in Troy, Alabama. The composer drew this fanfare from his Symphony No. 2 "The Odyssey" in tribute to Mrs. Crosby and her impact in the performing arts of Troy and the surrounding region.
