Program Notes
Infinitely and instantly appealing, this fresh new march will wow audiences and give students a new appreciation for an old form. In this first-time collaboration by a Japanese composing team, memorable melodies spring out in abundance in this charming setting. Melody, counter-melody, and an intense woodwind obbligato all come together in a stirring finale that is absolutely dazzling.
