is a regal overture for developing bands that evolves from a powerful fanfare into a fugue-like allegro section, building to a glorious ending. This concise concert opener will excite young musicians the firsttime through the piece, and keep them intrigued with each repetition. Commissioned by the Waller (TX) Jr. High Band and premiered at the 2009 National Concert Band Festival. Dur: 1:50 (Grade 2.5)
