Program Notes
Celebration was originally the fifth and final movement of Divertimento for Violins and Cellos. This work was a commission for a Suzuki string program in Paris, France. The robust nature of this movement lends itself well to concert band.
-Program Note from score
A dynamic work by a dynamic Canadian composer. Full of rhythmic and melodic interest, this concert band original is a fantastic addition to the repertoire. The tuneful melody is passed throughout the ensemble and even low woodwinds and tubas have a short section of melody. Percussion parts animate the driving rhythms and elegant writing in the winds.
