Commissioned to write a piece as a tribute to a horn playing band director friend, the composer decided it would be totally appropriate to weavemelodies from Mozart's 3rd horn concerto into the fabric of this mostly original work. This is indeed a celebratory, jubilant overture, with th e outer sections being in a jovial 6/8 rhythmic feel, and the slower-tempo 4/4 middle section expressively drawing on Mozart's Concerto Theme. Let your band celebrate and fully experience this musical magic!
