Program Notes

Upper level ensembles will enjoy this challenging and rewarding work from this highly regarded composer. Striking brass introduce this impressive work with a resolute introduction, leading to the colorful and energetic "Allegro Vivo" that is the main body of the work. Highlighted with shifting time signatures and flashing technical passages, it is music that will take your breath away.
