Program Notes

This intrepid concert fanfare for advanced bands exudes feelings of exhilaration and resilience from beginning to end. The work opens with sparkling melody lines and brilliant technical passages before settling into the rhythmic dance section. Hereafter, the music once again asserts itself with the powerful statements from the beginning before coming to the dramatic close.
