strProgramme NotesI had two things in mind while thinking about the piece. First, I had been obsessed with a number of fanfare-like musical gestures for some time and had no idea how to put them together in the context of a complete composition. Second my admiration for, and (for a while first hand) experience of the HCYO's unique energy and youthfulness. When Edgar Holmes approached me with the idea for an `upbeat opener' for the orchestra's 1986 season I knew I had found a solution for the first, and an outlet for the second.
The piece is dedicated to Edgar Holmes and the orchestra with affection, with gratitude for my years in the group, and in recognition of the unique opportunities
they offer so many young Hampshire musicians.
Duration: 8 minutes.
