Fanfare and Jubilation

Fanfare and Jubilation was commissioned by the Yahata Technical High School Band (Fukuoka, Japan) to celebrate the 40th edition of their annual concert, and is dedicated to its directors, Mr. Satoru Yoshihara and Ms. Akane Morimoto. The premiere took place on June 14, 2007 in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka, Japan with Mr. Satoru Yoshihara conducting.The piece is comprised of two parts: a festive opening fanfare; and a scintillating melody that reflects the celebratory atmosphere. Its melodic character, uplifting mood and punchy wit make Fanfare and Jubilation equally suitable as an opening piece or a concert work.
