This overture is based on a Scottish sounding folk melody by the composer. The opening theme is lively and articulated based loosely in the Dorian mode. The slow middle section features solo horn followed by a return of the opening material marching the music forward to its rousing conclusion.

This very playable and appealing overture by Robert Jager is sure to be enjoyable by younger players. Bold and dignified characterize the opening segment which is followed by an energetic faster theme reminiscent of a ScottishHighland dance. A tender hymn-like melody is then developed before returning to the faster theme and powerful closing coda. Very well scored to sound full.
