SKU: CL.011-3172-00

Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR317). Score and set of parts. Composed 2001. Duration 3 minutes, 13 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-3172-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-3172-00).

This mature sounding overture for young band opens with the bold and majestic writing that has made Swearingen’s music so playable. Following a short slow middle section which allows players the chance to develop phrasing and expression, this piece quickly returns to the original tempo and themes. Works well for bands with a limited instrumentation.
