Program Notes

This short and spirited fanfare was commissioned in honor of a 100-year celebration. While clearly centered around the key of F major, it also plays with moving tonalities and exciting cluster chords.

Falcon Fanfare was commissioned by Dacula Middle School in Dacula, Georgia, Terri Wiley, director of bands. It is named after their school mascot, the falcon, and served as part of the Dacula 100-year celebration.
