Programme notes *: The "Festival Overture" is a musical genre that originated in the Classical and Romantic musical periods and is often associated with festive occasions and celebrations. These stunning musical works serve to capture and enhance the mood and spirit of festivals, celebrations and special events. In this report, we will explore the characteristics and significance of the "Festival Overture" in music. The term "festival overture" has its roots in the European orchestral tradition of the 18th and 19th centuries. It originated as a kind of festive overture, which was often played at the beginning of concerts or events to welcome the audience and introduce them to the festive atmosphere. Composers such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Peter I. Tchaikovsky contributed to the development of this genre by composing impressive and rousing works that perfectly captured the festive mood. A festival overture is often characterised by its powerful orchestration, majestic melodic line and dynamic structure. It usually begins with a solemn and pompous theme that introduces the festive ambience and prepares the audience for the upcoming event. As the piece progresses, different musical sections can reflect the variety and richness of the festival or celebration, from jubilant fanfares to lyrical passages full of euphoria and joy. An outstanding example of a "Festival Overture" is Beethoven's "Egmont Overture", which was originally composed as an overture for Goethe's play "Egmont". Mendelssohn's "Hebrides Overture" and Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture" are other well-known examples that capture the festive mood and spirit of special occasions and celebrations. The "Festival Overture" remains a significant genre in the musical world, inviting people to celebrate, rejoice and enjoy life together. It is performed not only in concert halls and at classical music festivals, but also at public events, national holidays and other festive occasions around the world. Its ability to uplift the human spirit and create an atmosphere of celebration makes the "Festival Overture" an indispensable part of the musical repertoire.
