| Description: This award-winning composer has written an original overture that is a musical panorama constructed in ternary form. It opens with a strong and percussive statement with a middle section of long melodic phrases in the strings and woodwinds. The opening theme then returns, culminating in a majestic close. First violins require some 5th position, all others are playable in 1st position. |
