Program Notes
Cheers! is the fifth in a series of fanfare/preludes for concert by Jack Stamp. Inspired by a visit to England, Cheers! reflects the rich wind band tradition he encountered, friends he made, and his experiences there. The composition, a musical tribute to England, is dedicated in part to Paurl Murrell, Director of Training and Development at Historic Kneller Hall in Twickenham, England.
Cheers! is also dedicated to Col. Lowell Graham who commissioned the selection to serve as the opening work on a 1995 compact disc recording of the ACC Heritage of America Band.
