Publisher: J. Christopher Music Co.
Classification: Overture
Instrumentation: Full

General Comments: This is a very exciting overture that will grab the attention of your high school players. The composer has underlaid the melody with a syncopated harmony, and has created sudden dynamic contrasts and accented figures. This piece demonstrates a lot of independence. The tempo marking at the beginning of the overture is Lento, followed by a transition to Allegro. Counting will definitely be a factor in the successful and accurate performance of this work.
