Providing a challenge for the entire ensemble, this piece is perfect for competition performances or an inspiring year-end concert. The briliant melody and festive woodwind passages in the begining are supported by a strong rhythmic foundation and syncopated brass polychords, while the elegant adagio middle section makes use of delicate harmonies and sensitive phrasings. The opening statement returns and the work concludes with a rhythmically intricate and exciting coda that will keep your band members on the edge of their seats!
