This work for advanced band was commissioned by the Tennessee Valley Winds to celebrate the groups 30th anniversary. The piece begins quietly with clarinet solo then quickly moves to a celebratory section in 12/8 meter. The main melody is stated inmany different voices as it steadily builds to a moment of controlled frenzy. A brief lyrical section features an expressive style and also a moment of glory for the entire woodwind choir. The work concludes with a return to the vibrant andenthusiastic flavor of the opening. Powerful and impressive writing for mature groups! Dur: 5:10
