Program Notes:
Honor, greatness and celebration are images conjured by this new work for band. An energetic opening sets the mood for a solemn and mysterious theme. Melody and countermelody weave an interesting tapestry while the energy continues to build throughout. The result is a piece that your students will want to play over and over.
(Alfred Music)
