Program Notes
Sparkling woodwind flourishes, bold brass fanfares and exciting melodies highlight this incredible new concert overture from popular composer Larry Clark. The lyrical middle section contains a beautiful heart-tugging theme that is bookended by bold and aggressive music from the energetic first section.
- Program Note from publisher
Exhilaration was commissioned for the Zionsville West Middle School Band directed by Matthew Doublestein and Elizabeth Leatherberry. The piece is dedicated to the memory of Sandra Lee Laughman Graef, a great musician, teacher and friend.
