Ancient Wonders Suite is a musical description of four of the wonders from the ancient world. Movement one describes the awe-inspiring grandeur and size of the Temple of Artemis located in Ephesus (now present day Turkey). Movement two depicts the majesty of the Great Lighthouse at Alexandria, Egypt, which lasted into the 14th century. Movement three portrays the mystery and amazing craftsmanship used to build the Great Pyramid at Giza, the only ancient wonder still standing today. Movement four represents the overwhelming feeling one might have felt gazing at the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Greece. It concludes with a majestic feeling of victory, celebrating the Olympic spirit. Though written through contemporary means, this programmatic work seeks to remember the great architectural achievements of past generations. As a former director with the Bay Youth Orchestras of Virginia, it was truly an honor to write this piece commemorating the years of dedication and inspiration from my former colleague, Christina Morton. Movements were written with the traditional symphonic order in mind, but they may be played in any order or as stand-alone works. The timpani part is optional, but very highly recommended as it significantly adds to the majestic nature of these works.Ancient Wonders Suite is a musical description of four of the wonders from the ancient world.

Liberty Fanfare follows the successful pattern that John Williams has made his own in a series of ceremonial fanfares. The grandeur and energy that are heard in this exciting short work form a juxtaposition and eventual combination of lively fanfare figures together with a broader theme. It’s concise form and simple directness makes a bold opening statement for any concert. Die Freiheitsstatue im New Yorker Hafen wurde am 28. Oktober 1886 eingeweiht. Liberty Fanfare entstand zur Wiedereinweihung nach der Restauration im Jahr 1986. Sie weist das gleiche erfolgreiche Muster auf, das Williams sich in einer Reihe von festlichen Fanfaren zu eigen gemacht hat, darunter Olympic Fanfare and Theme, Olympic Spirit und Summon the Heroes. Ihre Größe und Energie erwächst aus der Nebeneinanderstellung und letztendlichen Kombination von lebhaften Fanfarefiguren und einem breiteren Thema. Diese Formel wurde brillant angewendet in Liberty Fanfare, einer von Williams kürzeren Fanfaren, die dafür aber von einer prägnanten Form und einfachen Direktheit profitiert.
