This original concert/contest overture utilizes a variety of rhythms to produce an interesting and solid selection for young bands. Both the opening five-note motif and a secondary theme utilizing a dotted quarter, eighth rhythm are developed throughout the piece, providing all of the major thematic material. Your students will enjoy this excellent and enriching musical selection.
