A powerful
work for the symphonic
band, Ode to the
Spirit of Man is
based on thematic
material taken from the
fourth movement of
Beethoven's Symphony
No. 9 and developed
into a fantasy of
kaleidoscopic nature. The
opening is a joyful
expression of the spirit
of freedom and is based
on the composer's own
themes derived from
Beethoven's music.
Throughout the work,
various themes from the
symphony are interwoven,
including Alla Marcia,
Scherzo, Andante
maestoso and finally
the uplifting Ode to
Joy. Duration:
5:15.
