A triumphant fanfare for bands with a strong brass section!
When I spoke with Ian about writing another piece for us, I suggested a fanfare - an easy idea when you have 26 players in the brass section. After receiving an electronic version of the piece, I realized it loosely followed the musical form known as a rondo. The opening fanfare returns four times in the piece, while the primary melody returns three times after its initial statement. Each return is different than the original statement. A third, darker theme in the lower voices, is played twice in the piece, which offers a nice contrast to the opening fanfare and primary theme. Thus, Fanfare and Rondo seemed like an apt title for the work. - Mr. Michael Hintzman
The Northwestern High School Band would like to thank the Oulu Community Theater for their financial support in the commissioning of Fanfare and Rondo.
Fanfare and Rondo was premiered by the Northwestern High School Concert Band on March 9th, 2020 in the Patricia Loustari Theatre (Northwestern High School - Maple, WI)
