Windstar

An overture commissioned by the Epsilon Gamma Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha at Central Missouri State University, Warrensburg, MO, Dr. Russell Coleman, conductor. It’s premiere performance was May 10, 1981 at CMSU. In this work, the french horns present the theme in a brief “maestoso” section, with a syncopated accompaniment leading to the extended transition from the middle section back to the “allegro” section. With occasional 7/8 bars, this work will be exciting for advanced middle school bands and is a good festival/contest work for high school bands.
