Composed by Chuck Elledge. Edited by Bruce Pearson and Wendy Barden. Standard of Excellence in Concert. Resource Guide. Neil A. Kjos Music Company #WB169RG. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.WB169RG). Matterhorn Overture uses angular melodic lines, colorful harmonies, exciting rhythms and bold dynamic contrasts to create musical impressions of the Alps' mighty Matterhorn.
