Program Notes

Commissioned by Central Missouri State University for the dedication of the James C. Kirkpatrick Library in March 1999, this work has a definite Irish flavor, including a strain of “Danny Boy”. The “Fanfare” features driving rhythms and exciting brass figures, making this dramatic work sure to please both performers and audiences alike.
