EXUBERANTE! (Concert March)
Previously the first movement of a major symphonic band work commissioned by the Xinmin Secondary School for their 65th Anniversary celebration concert, titled “Kaleidoscope”, this concert march has been re-titled “Exuberante!” in its published version by Beriato Music (Belgium). The march opens with a less conventional introduction from the traditional march music form. The slow and lyrical beginning marked “Andante Cantabile”, brings us back in time to the beautiful memories we have with our friends from school. A distant approaching drumbeat is then heard as it brings us back to the present. This is announced by the trumpeting fanfare statement at the start of the fast section. The rest of the march is characterised by a playful and cheerful theme, peppered with little hints of humour, portraying the traits of a happy youth.
