Beschreibung:
The composer writes about his fanfare for string orchestra and snare drum: When Maestro Leonard Slatkin (in collaboration with the John and June Hechinger Foundation) commissioned me to compose a fanfare to commemorate the 25thanniversary of the Kennedy Center, I was not only honored, but I also felt very sentimental.... (I)t was not written to exhibit every innovative device available to the composer, nor to solve musical explorations of globaldimensions, but to be a brief, festive, robust, exciting, and joyful celebrations for the audience. Many of my colleagues who know my fondness for intricate musical patterns asked how I could compose a fanfare using irregularrhythms typical to me. I must admit that I restrained myself and remained faithful to the basic idea of the fanfare. If the audience finds itself to be in a joyful and celebratory mood, then I feel that I shall have beensuccessful.
