An exciting overture that begins with a slow lyrical introduction before leading into a very rhythmic and energetic allegro section. The slow melodic middle section contains an optional trumpet solo. Cued throughout to allow for different musical colors and it offers the stability that less experienced players need. This effective composition provides a welcome opportunity for all instruments to experience playing the melody. Excellent for building confidence in young or inexperienced groups while providing a delightful concert or contest selection. Exceptional teaching material.
