Format : Score and Parts

This overture for second year players tells the musical story of Portsmouth Village once a bustling sea village on North Carolina's Outer Banks but now a ghost town with past glories only a memory. In this descriptive work the slow and reflective opening leads to a vibrant faster section with driving rhythms and melodic lines passed from section to section. Dur: 2:45.
