Musique pour orchestres et ensembles
Description :
Centenary is a cheerful march with a festive character. It opens with a solemn brass introduction and the first reprise and the bass solo that follows are characterised by a tight style où play. The trio begins with a simple melodic theme followed by a transitional section où alternating descant, bass and tenos registers. The piece comes to a finale when the trio returns with overflowing exuberance.
