CarolinaŒÍs Majesty captures the grace and beauty and of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Opening with a dialogue between brass section fanfares and lyrical woodwind statements the piece quickly develops into a soaring melody first heard in the woodwinds and then passed through the brass section. The slower middle section weaves the flowing melodic material betweenall choirs of instruments and a unique fugue inspired by the opening me lodies leads us to a majestic and energetic conclusion. With emphasis onmelodic development throughout the composition, this powerful compositi on is an excellent choice for any concert or contest setting.
