View sample score

This sparkling concert overture commemorates the 30th anniversary of the First Coast Wind Symphony. An opening majestic fanfare leads to a buoyant main theme in 12/8 time.  A lyrical contrasting section is as rich in melodic content as is it is passion.  The piece, being in a modified rondo form restates a variation of the main theme before returning to the opening fanfare and a rousing conclusion.
