Overture Jubiloso - Melvin L. Shelton

Shifting harmonies in the stately but exciting opening introduce a lovely lyric theme. A gorgeous 8-measure Alto Sax solo (cued Tpt.) brings in a second, extended lyric theme which gradually develops beautiful counterpoint reminiscent of a Romantic serenade.Melvin Shelton's sensitive scoring makes this excellent concert and contest offering both accessible and worthwhile. OVERTURE JUBILOSO allows the band to experience the thrill of playing in a lyric, even orchestral, style.
