Program Notes
Of Emperors and Chariots is a dramatic fanfare. It was written to capture the building excitement of the parade before the Roman circuses' popular games that were held in ancient Rome. These games included chariot races that were often violent and deadly.
The opening fanfare represents the start of the games, at which point the parade began. During the parade, the excitement of the crowd would grow enormously in anticipation of the first chariot race.
