Centennial Festival Overture - Frank Bencriscutto

A jubilant, energetic masterwork from a great composer, this is a wonderful opening selection for any concert or contest. With crisp articulations and woodwind runs that truly 'fall well' under the fingers and with exciting percussion parts that enhance the joy of the work, this is a timeless work. The brass parts lie right in the meat of the instruments' registers, with plenty of opportunity to rest up for the remainder of the concert.
