Additional info/contents	The snow-capped Rocky Mountains, which were formed some 80 million years ago, are a breathtakingly beautiful sight. This strong, robust composition works to capture the grandeur of this magnificent North American treasure. Using sleigh bells to begin the piece, as well as powerful thematic material stated by the brass, we hear the spirit of winter. This develops into a more playful section that depicts the hustle and bustle and energy of the season. The composition now moves into a melancholic, slower section that is based on the opening material, representing evening in Colorado as the day draws to a close. Then, as the sun rises and dawn approaches, the music becomes alive again utilizing the full ensemble, bringing the piece to its powerful conclusion.

Programme notes *: The Southern Rocky Mountains, a major subregion of the Rocky Mountains in North America, extend across southeastern Wyoming, central and western Colorado, northern New Mexico, and extreme eastern Utah. Known for their breathtaking beauty and majestic peaks, they are also known as the "Southern Rocky Mountains" or occasionally as the "Colorado Rockies", particularly because of the highest peaks located in the state of Colorado. This mountain range includes the highest mountain ranges in the entire Rocky Mountains and includes all 30 of the highest major peaks in these impressive mountain ranges. The formation of the snow-capped Rocky Mountains about 80 million years ago not only gives this region geological significance, but also makes it a spectacular sight. In the context of Rossano Galante's composition "Colorado Rockies" for wind orchestra, the composer succeeds in musically capturing the majesty and diversity of this North American treasure. The piece begins with sleigh bells, evoking the spirit of winter, and is accompanied by powerful thematic material from the brass, creating an atmosphere of majestic cold and beauty. The composition takes the listener on a journey through different moods and seasons. The playful section reflects the hustle and bustle and energy of the season, while the melancholic section that follows represents the evening in Colorado as the day comes to an end. The slow, moving passages are based on the opening material and convey a calm and thoughtful mood. The piece finally reaches a powerful conclusion as the music awakens to morning and the sun rises. The entire ensemble is used to celebrate the splendor and vibrancy of this unique part of North America. Rossano Galante's composition not only offers a musical experience, but also a sonic journey through the fascinating landscape of the Southern Rocky Mountains, which is immortalized in this impressive composition as the "Colorado Rockies".
