Firework!
Jan Van der Roost is internationally known as a seasoned,
prolific Dutch composer of contemporary concert band works. His vast
compositional output encompasses a wide variety of musical genres
and styles. This short and exciting fanfare reflects the power and virtuosity
of the modern concert band. Opening with woodwind and brass
sections alternating introductory material, the work quickly launches
into a short, joyful theme and resulting harmonic conversations. The
beautiful bass drum punctuates the ending of this work. (Source: JRO)
