Rich in
harmonic color and rhythmic vitality, this composition opens with a
fanfare in the brass. Quartile harmonies in the woodwinds introduce a
prayer-like melody, which ushers in the hymnal second movement. The
finale opens with antiphonal brass followed by full band with a
contrasting lyric section. The recapitulation features antiphonal brass
with swirling woodwinds, creating a glorious exalting finale.
