Comprising the University’s most accomplished musicians, The University of Georgia Wind Ensemble commissions and premières new compositions and performs other significant works from the wind band repertoire.
The works on this disc range from Holst’s Hammersmith, depicting the good natured Saturday night crowds in west London during the 1930s, and Millennium Canons, composed by Kevin Puts to welcome the 2000s with a fanfare, to Lost Gulch Lookout, a piece reflective of the craggy, colorful landscape of Kristin Kuster’s hometown of Boulder, Colorado.
A spirit of celebration and lyricism infuses the entire disc.
