SKU: CL.011-2935-01

A spirited overture for young bands which is full of exciting rhythms and bold, contemporary harmonies. Has a lovely andante section in 3/4 that first features alto sax and then the whole ensemble. Very playable yet still challenging for middle school and jr. high bands and it’s perfect for contest or concert performances. A truly outstanding piece for developing bands! Recorded on the CD A Lantern In The Window by The Washington Winds.
