Composed by Behrman. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR336). Overture. Score and set of parts. Composed 2005. Duration 3 minutes, 14 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-3441-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-3441-00).

This delightful overture has a slightly British sound that is perfect for concert or contest performances by developing bands. The bright allegro section features strong melodic themes in the woodwinds that are followed by an impressive melody for all of the lower instruments. The adagio section includes solos for trumpet and flute before building to a lush full band sound. Very playable, this appealing piece is sure to pay big dividends for your band program. Extremely nice for this grade level!
