Commissioned by the Gamma Eta chapter of Phi Mu Alpha at Furman University Greenville SC this impressive work is built around two chorale themes and a recurring fanfare. After the boldly stated opening a bright allegrodevelopmental section becomes increasingly more intense until a dramatic cadence is reached. At this point antiphonal brass (3 trumpets 2 trombones) soar above the ensemble and play a grandiose version of the first chorale. Theband re-enters and both ensembles play the climactic ending to the work in a new key and with both hymns being heard simultaneously. Marvelous work! (6:00)
