Big Sky March

Premiered at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, this march describes the beautiful mountain views that gave Asheville its nickname, "Land of the Sky." Written in the traditional style of Fillmore marches, the piece features exciting parts for all instruments. Flurries of woodwinds and brass flourishes depict the pageantry of a festival, and repeated arpeggios and chromatic scales represent each of the two ensembles that performed the piece as part of a Memorial Day celebration.
