Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-2154-01. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-2154-01). This great composition is intended to capture the integrity and intensity of Thomas Edison. Opening with an alternating woodwind quintet- brass choir section, it quickly moves into a fanfare and theme exposition. Warm rich harmonies underscore a lyric trumpet solo which begins the slower middle section. EXCELLENT!
