Celebration Overture

The growth of an institution is a wonderful thing to observe. This work celebrates the work of the dedicated student musicians, board members of The Philharmonic Society, and the multiple conductors who have made the Triangle Youth Philharmonic and its associate orchestras what they are today. Special credit goes to Hugh Partridge, conductor of the orchestra since its inception, and to Margaret Partridge as the Executive Director of The Philharmonic Society. I have known Hugh since well before the founding of this orchestra and appreciate his both his friendship and his support of new music. My congratulations to all those whose work led to this celebration of thirty years of the Triangle Youth Philharmonic. The work itself is in three parts – a fanfare, a lyric melody that repeats with added rhythmic emphasis, and a rousing finale. All of the themes relate to the timpani solo found in the fanfare.

When you buy music on this site, you are purchasing a PDF from which to make your own copies.  While I would love to have my works widely distributed, I trust that you will make copies only for yourself and the group you represent.  Thanks.
