After an introduction, the piece starts softly with the French Horn stating the melody with Trombone and Tuba accompanying. The two Trumpets join in and the whole ensemble builds gradually to a forte. The piece diminishes in volume and ends softly as it began. Your ensemble and your audiences will enjoy traveling back in time with this pop classic.
