Program Notes

Commissioned for the 2005 Mississippi All-State Band, Of Honor and Valor Eternal is a very impressive debut composition by an outstanding young composer. Contemporary in nature and full of vitality, it features short solos for oboe, clarinet and trumpet and interesting interplay between the various motives. The sonorities of the horn lines mix with the powerful rhythms of the percussion to create a dynamic and vibrant work that is perfect for any concert or contest performance by better bands.
