Program Notes
[The following comments pertain to the entire suite, not just the Overture.] A theme and variations treatment of a familiar tune with narrator to introduce the instruments of the band.
This work was commissioned by the Minnesota Symphonic Winds and premiered on a children's concert in April 1997 under the baton of the late Miles Johnson, with Christine Sweet narrating. It is modeled after Benjamin Britten's Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra in that the purpose of the composition is to introduce the instruments of the concert band to the audience.
