Matterhorn
Overture uses angular
melodic lines, colorful
harmonies, exciting
rhythms and bold dynamic
contrasts to create
musical impressions of
the Alps' mighty
Matterhorn. Through a
creative combination of
these and many other
devices, the composer
gives this accessible
work a mature sound,
making it an ideal
selection for young band
festival or concert
performance.
