Program Notes:

This overture by talented composer Doug Court was commissioned by the Albert College Wind Ensemble (Scott Mills, director). Rich harmonies and driving rhythms propel this piece through several sections: "Majesty of the Past", "Young Life", "Reflections of the Past", and "A Look to the Future".
