This proud and uplifting composition is as engaging as it is tuneful, employing all of the elements of a much more difficult piece, but allowing it to be performed by less experienced players.  The changes in style, harmony and texture provide a surprising amount of variety, keeping the piece fresh and interesting.  An excellent concert opener for young and developing bands.
