Overture for the Heroes

Description

This vibrant and soaring original work opens with a bright fanfare intro that quickly transitions into a heroic theme over driving percussion. A gentle and reflective middle section features the lyrical capabilities of the woodwind section before passing on to the brass. The piece culminates in a dramatic recapitulation of the main theme with slight rhythmical variations. This piece actively engages all sections of the band and utilizes the strengths of each instrument family. An excellent choice for a concert, contest, or as a program opener!
