A Celebration Overture - Bruce Broughton

The concert opener A Celebration Overture is really an extended fanfare, opening with an energetic brass and percussion motif that forms the basis of most of the piece that follows. A contrasting lyrical section appears shortly after the opening statement and once again before the final push to the end. (4:10)
