Celebration
Margaret Brouwer
About this work:
The first movement is a fanfare and celebratory in nature employing occasional Renaissance characteristics. “Evening by the Chapel” is reminiscent of old hymns and chants (but in an almost improvisatory style) that might have drifted from the chapel windows on a summer’s evening. “Festival of memories”, a fast moving maze in perpetual motion hides motives of the school’s fight song and alma mater.
