Jubilance

An uplifting and accessible work, a true joy to play and listen to. Following an introductory pyramid fanfare, the composition is developed in ABA form. With rhythmic energy, interesting harmonies, and a bright tempo, the first theme captures the spirit of jubilant excitement. The contrasting second theme allows the ensemble to demonstrate some haunting sonorities as the piece slowly builds, utilizing both minor and modal harmonies. The concluding section marks the return of the opening theme and culminates in a rousing finish.
