To Seek the Glorious

This expansive overture for band takes the listener and performers on a varied path of moods and styles. The opening portrays the start of a new day, full of wonder and promise. The second section paraphrases the hymn On Eagles Wings, representing curiosity in the world. A lyric section follows, featuring a solo for trumpet, before the final dynamic and powerful segment that winds down to a quiet closing setting of Bach's Sleeper's Wake.
