Opening with a declarative fanfare, the composition immediately evolves into a mysterious melody in the woodwinds punctuated by bursts of brass and percussion. Interesting harmonic and rhythmic sound effects are written throughout and the wide percussion scoring will keep this section busy. Chain Reaction is an exciting and educationally rewarding piece that will complement any concert setting.
