A lot of loud playing required! | Very involved percussion! | Not to be confused with Shostakovich's Festive Overture. Measure 10 1/4 note triplets vs 16ths is hard to line up.

20 | 6/21/2020 16:40:29 | Festive Overture | Closer | Before 11, flute and pic are going to have to make sure they are working to stay together and match style. Staggered entrances at 53. Woodwind parts have some pretty wicked runs, that are less scary because of slower tempo. But also scary because they have to be together at that slower tempo. Doodliedoos after 93 in woodwinds. Keep the tempo going. Stay together. | Trumpet 1 first note is a high G. Horns have a lot of alto stuff, even some of the faster material. Working to keep that clean will be challenging. Overall brass part not terribly challenging, but some rangie moments. | Timpani has plenty to do. Need a good player. Bells player has to be solid to play along with upper woodwinds in 16th note runs. | Cool piece. Need woodwinds with great fingers. Brass less so - but need good range. | 7 | Webb, Amelia | |||||||||||||||||
21 | 6/21/2020 16:40:29 | Festive Overture | Change of Pace, Contest | Great woodwind melody at the beginning: simple, lyrical, nice! Aligning the flurry of notes could be challenging.

30 | 6/21/2020 16:40:38 | Festive Overture | Opener, Contest, Closer | Busy woodwind lines are a good challenge. | Crisp tonguing is needed in the brass in spots - triplet 16ths. | Percussion largely starts the piece and needs to lock into tempo right away. | Great offbeat accents in the faster section. | 7 | Evans, James Spencer | |||||||||||||||||

There are some demanding french horn sections and some pretty high trombone parts. | The percussion parts are well written, but there are extraneous staccatos on the snare 16th notes. | This piece is technically demanding in terms of rhythms, dynamics, and technique. | 3 | Dysart, Benjamin | |||||||||||||||||

The brass will need to work hard to not over do the marcato and fanfare sections. Could be difficult to get loud without sacrificing tone. | Will need a strong, confident timpanist. There are a few exposed mallet parts that could pose difficulty. Otherwise, the percussion parts are not overly demanding. | When all are playing, it could be challenging to keep the ensemble from overblowing and getting out of tune/tone. | 8 | Hegwood, Jonathan | |||||||||||||||||

42 | 6/21/2020 16:40:53 | Festive Overture | Contest, Closer | Clarinet soli at the beginning with tenor sax sets up the melody at a mp dynamic. Tuning will need to be a consideration with this as there are large leaps in the melody. The sixteenth notes at m. 28 will need to be rehearsed to line them up. Staggered sixteenth note passages in m. 53 will need to be lined up so they sound seemless. M. 79 has 32nd notes that will need to line up at the slower tempo. There are fast sixteenth note descending lines at m. 98 and 99. | F horn and baritone have the countermelody that will need to come through over the long-held woodwind notes. Horns, trombones, and baritones have the melody at m. 53. Baritone goes to high F in this melody. Trumpets and trombones may need to double tongue at m. 98. | Timpani, snare drum, bass drum, and chimes set the tempo at the beginning.

Around Measure 53- clarinets keep a running motif going through a written-in stagger breath approach, but that will need to be with each part playing with equality in approach. Some nice lyrical moments for saxophones to speak and perhaps use a bit of vibrato. The technical demand is frequent, while scalar, but it does often cover the entire range of the instrument in one run. | Triple tonguing opportunities exist for trumpets and trombones. French horns will take on important melodic roles without doubling and require some confidence. There are some moments of definite technical facility in the french horns as the create dialogue with the scalar runs in the high woodwinds. | Timpani in particular has some great moments of exposure and technique coming into the allegro tempo. Chimes and bells create important celebratory textures. While the snare helps to contribute to the subdivisions necessary for the woodwinds to stick with. | The opening has some lush, counter-melodic writing. There is great energy through the use of staccato articulations and brilliant brass orchestrations, matched with very energetic flourishes in the woodwinds and horns.
