Golden Dragon Overture - Music by Warren Barker

Bring a touch of the Orient to your next concert with this dramatic overture for young band! A simple statement of the first theme played by clarinets and cornets is accented by triangle and 'snares off' drums, setting up a faster section with a staccato melody performed by low brass. Hand claps, full-band scoring and interesting percussion parts make for a very effective work. (Grade 1-1/2)
