This contest work
is celebratory in nature and is marked by bold fanfares and sweeping
countermelodies. Full of rhythmic vitality, the main theme has a
heroic quality and continues to build through different sections. A
lighter middle section is reminiscent of the flowing melodies and
sparse orchestrations of Ralph Vaughan Williams. A final restatement
of the opening theme moves into an exciting coda that drives the work
to a triumphant conclusion! Comment
