Glorioso

Glorioso was commissioned by and is dedicated to the Siena Wind Orchestra. After a short, aleatoric introduction, the work begins with a lively brass fanfare on only one note. The tone F is omnipresent and leads into the slow, rather static movement. After the noble-sounding theme has led to an impressive climax, the fantastic and virtuoso finale is made up of the previously played elements. Stylistically this lively finale is clearly influenced by Dmitri Shostakovich, therefore the famous musical signature of the Russian master is used, which he often used: C -D -Eb - B. An impressive end to a special work that highlights various facets of the modern wind orchestra.
