Program Notes
Composed for the Wichita State University Symphonic Band, Overture for Band (1963) is a contemporary mid-century work in both style and harmony. The work opens with a brilliant fanfare, followed by a dance-like theme which leads to a slow melodic section culminating in a chorale. The final section consists of an unusual sounding march which, accompanied by recurring themes, develops into a climactic ending.
