Gary Kulesha - Celebration Overture

I wrote my Celebration Overture for the Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra, who premiered it under the baton of Eugene Kash in 1985. Composers are often called upon to create works for specific functions on a programme, and this work was designed to be a traditional overture, with all the traditional elements. It opens with a fiery flourish of activity, which leads to the first major tune of the piece. Throughout the work, melody is the major element. A small developmental section leads to a slow and very lyrical middle section. After a rather luxurious climax, the opening returns. The work ends as it began, with string flourished leading to the final F major chord.
