A triumphant unison fanfare sounds a clarion call in praise of music at the start of this concert/contest opener, followed by a contemplative, chant-like middle section on a brief Latin text. An accelerating return to the jubilant main theme leads to a majestic and satisfying conclusion. Be sure to add the optional trumpet part for full effect. This piano accompaniment is also found on PianoTrax CD 47188 and can be used with 47719, 47720, 47721, and 47722.
