Program Notes

This extensive work for 14-piece brass and percussion challenges your group technically, lyrically, and musically. The first movement introduces a fanfare and chorale that reappear later in the work. The lyrical second movement will show off the musicality of your group, while the fast pace and powerful coda of the third movement will thrill your audience.
