Sonoran Fiesta Overture
(for Concert Band)
 

Mark Wolfram's "Sonoran Fiesta Overture" (for Concert Band) was commissioned by the Green Valley Concert Band of Green Valley, Arizona. Conductor Dr. John Snavely asked Mr. Wolfram to write a composition to honor the band's late timpanist Peg Bowden and her husband Lester Weil. The premiere will be on January 21, 2024 at 3:00pm at the Sahuartia District Auditorium.

The piece has a strong overture-type opening and moves into an energetic march-type feel. After a step-out solo from the timpani and percussion the work is peppered with Mexican musical influences. The overall takeaway is that of an exciting fiesta - complete with a big ending to bring it home!

"Sonoran Fiesta Overture" (for Concert Band) would make a great opener or closer for any group. It is a GRADE 5 composition which has a duration of approximately 4:52.
