Lone Star Celebration werd door James Curnow gecomponeerd ter gelegenheid van het 150-jarig bestaan van de staat Texas. Het werk begint met een briljante openingsfanfare, gevolgd door een scherzo. Een ballade met een overpeinzendkarakter zorgt voor een rustig middengedeelte. Het slot wordt gevormd door een opzwepend allegro, dat wordt ingeleid door een terugkeer van de openingsfanfare.
