Commissioned by
and dedicated to Kennesaw
Mountain High School,
Kennesaw Mountain,
Georgia, this exciting
concert overture will be
a sure hit with your
students. The intense
opening moments
immediately lead us to a
brassy fanfare interlude.
A secondary rhythmic
dialogue between brass
and woodwinds punctuates
a flowing main theme. The
slower middle section is
a gracefully simple
melody that offers a
flowing contrast to the
rhythmic intensity of the
faster outer sections.
Reminiscent of this
composer’s earlier
composition Fire Dance,
Kennesaw Mountain
Celebration is certain to
be one of your
student’s
favorites.
