In this dynamic multi-style overture for band Michael Sweeney opens with stark percussive hits brass fanfares and swirling woodwind effects. A fast tempo and long build follows using non-traditional harmonies and overlappinglayers of sound climaxing with a majestic soaring statement by the entire ensemble. The slower middle section features a solo flute accompanied by rich sonorities and counterlines. The fast tempo returns initiated by thepercussion section and then recurring earlier themes as the pieces drives to a satisfying finish. With variety and pacing this is a perfect choice for contest or festival. Dur: 5:20
