Program Notes

The Sinfonians

Clifton Williams, composer

A stirring symphonic march, The Sinfonians was commissioned by Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia Fraternity of America. "Hail Sinfonia! Come, brothers, hail!" Thus begins the principal song of the fraternity, with words by Charles Lutton set to music of Arthur Sullivan. After an extended fanfare, the theme underlying these opening words is stated by the horns. The song is then completed and embellished in the distinctive style of the composer, Clifton Williams.
