A Festival Anthem developpe deux motifs : l'un ecrit sous la forme d'une fanfare (introduction), l'autre reprenant le celebre carillon londonien de Big Ben. De ce second motif derive le theme principal, associe avec une structure en contrepoint. La deuxieme partie de l'œuvre est constituee d'inversions et de renversements des motifs et themes initiaux. Le motif Big Ben est un motif en ostinato. La reprise du theme premier mene l'œuvre vers une conclusion majestueuse.

Richard Strauss' Wiener Fanfare, the shorter version of Festmusik der Stadt Wien - a piece originally written for ten trumpets, seven trombones, two tubas, and timpani - was the basis of this arrangement for concert band by Franco Cesarini. Strauss completed the “Festmusik†on 14 January 1943 after having previously received the “Beethoven Prize†in 1942. He dedicated the piece to the City Council of Vienna as a sign of his gratitude. Strauss conducted the premiere of this work in the Festival Hall of Vienna City Town Hall on 9th April 1943. An arrangement that highlights the characteristics of Franco Cesarini's writing.
