Overture. Composed by J. Spears. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR363). Score and set of parts. Composed 1988. C.L. Barnhouse #011-2073-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-2073-00). Immediately following a lush opening this piece bursts into a melodically and rhythmically exciting allegro. The middle section develops a melody typical of Spears’ best writing. An excellent contest choice.
