Program Notes
Nelhybel states, "Festivo is an overture-type composition in which the woodwinds and the brasses are constantly confronting each other like two antagonists in a dramatic scene." The resulting percussive concept of wind performance, which is prevalent in twentieth-century music, provides a striking impact for the performer and listener.
