Programme notes *: The "LaVilla School of the Arts Band of Jacksonville", Florida, commissioned composer John Edmondson to write two works - one for a concert band and one for a jazz band - in honor of the program's founder, Carol McQueen. This concert band composition, A CELEBRATORY OVERTURE, is the result. The commission is indicated in the full score of each work: "To Carol McQueen, founding director of the LaVilla School of the Arts Band, Jacksonville, Florida. Her students and friends celebrate her passion, her character and her lifelong contribution to music education." The opening theme in the brass is the foundation of the entire work, and various variations will be heard throughout. The slow middle section contains a short trumpet solo and the woodwind choir in a contrasting theme in three-four time. At the end of the piece, the main theme is reformulated in a majestic setting.
