This fanfare captures the spirit of Olympia the birthplace of the Olympic Games. The Games began in 776 B.C. in honor of Zeus. Since then they have become the central location for heroes and champions to compete for the highest honors in the world. This work also serves as a reminder that heroes are all around us - in teachers who stay after school to help students in parents who strive to give their children the best possible lives and most of all in students themselves the young champions of our world who see nothing between them and their dreams. The mallet part calls for multiple sets of bells (or other metallic instruments such as the vibraphone). Certainly two to three players can really make this an effective part. There are two Percussion 1 parts included: a normal part and an advanced part. The level of the snare drummer will determine which part should be used. However both parts may be used simultaneously if percussionists are available. This fanfare captures the spirit of Olympia the birthplace of the Olympic Games.

Contemporary harmonies and interesting colors are at the center of this innovative work. While well within the ability of young musicians this piece has an uncharacteristically mature sound that will captivate your audience.

Optional percussionists throughout the audience can enhance the entire experience as the dancers continue till utter exhaustion and collapse to the ground. Very compelling!
