A Midwest Fanfare was commissioned by the Brass Band of Battle Creek and premiered by them during their appearance at the Midwest Clinic in Chicago on 20th December 2017 where this fanfare was the opening piece of the entire event. This piece is designed to be played with the cornets split into two teams either side of the band. It opens with the two groups answering each other antiphonally over a repeated figure in the lower band. A calmer central section introduces a euphonium solo which is then taken up by the whole ensemble. This leads back to a repeat of the opening fanfares over a rhythmic accompaniment and a short coda which brings the work to a close.A Midwest Fanfare werd geschreven in opdracht van de Brass Band of Battle Creek en op 20 december 2017 door dit ensemble in première gebracht als openingswerk op de Midwest Clinic in Chicago. Het werk is zo gecomponeerd dat de kornetten in twee teams worden verdeeld, die aan weerszijden van de band komen te staan. Deze twee groepen antwoorden elkaar op antifonale wijze boven een herhaald motief in de lagere registers. Een rustiger centraal gedeelte introduceert een eufoniumsolo, die aansluitend wordt overgenomen door de complete band. Deze passage mondt uit in een herhaling van de openingsfanfares boven een ritmische begeleiding, waarna het werk met een korte coda fraaiwordt afgesloten. A Midwest Fanfare wurde von der Brass Band of Battle Creek in Auftrag gegeben und bei ihrem Auftritt anlässlich der Midwest Clinic in Chicago am 20. Dezember 2017 uraufgeführt, wo diese Fanfare den Auftakt für die gesamte Veranstaltung bildete. Das Stück ist so konzipiert, dass die Kornette in zwei Gruppen aufgeteilt sind und auf beiden Seiten der Brass Band platziert werden. Es beginnt mit einem Wechselgesang der beiden Gruppen, der über einer sich wiederholenden Melodie in den tieferen Stimmen der Brass Band erklingt. Im ruhigeren Mittelteil wird ein Euphonium-Solo vorgestellt, das dann vom gesamten Ensemble aufgenommen wird. Schließlich kehren die Eröffnungsfanfarenüber einer rhythmischen Begleitung zurück und eine kurze Coda bringt das Werk zum Abschluss. A Midwest Fanfare est une commande du Brass Band de Battle Creek, qui l’a créée le 20 décembre 2017 lors d’un concert dans le cadre de la Midwest Clinic, Chicago, où elle a été choisie comme fanfare d’ouverture. L’instrumentation divise les cornets en deux groupes de part et d’autre de l’orchestre. La pièce s’ouvre avec les deux groupes qui se répondent antiphonalement sur un motif répété par les basses. Un passage central plus calme introduit un solo d’euphonium qui est ensuite repris par l’orchestre entier. La fanfare du début revient alors sur un accompagnement rythmique avant une brève coda qui achève la pièce.

Peter Latona's setting of the Entrance Antiphon for the Dedication of a Church is a perfect balance of solemnity and festivity. It opens with a brass and organ fanfare (echoed later by organ alone) and a chant-like choral section. Then the antiphon unfolds—easily sung by the assembly, while the verses offer some meat for SATB choir. Brass Quintet is used well throughout, supporting the antiphons and decorating the verses. Appropriate also for church anniversaries, the Feast of the Dedication of St. John Lateran, Christ the King C, or other festive liturgies. Duration: 8:00.

This impressive chorale-prelude by Andrew Glover is an exceptional choice for ceremonial events, formal observances, or as a concert selection. A robust opening fanfare segues seemlessly into a peaceful original chorale. A short interlude leads into a robust and powerful chorus of America, the Beautiful which includes optional parts for antiphonal trumpets and trombones.
