Program Notes

Symphonic Suite

Clifton Williams, composer

This composition was the winner of the American Bandmaster’s Ostwald Award in 1957 and consists of five contrasting movements related by the principal theme. This piece was one of the many concert band standards composed in the fifties as a result of Frederick Fennell’s work with the Eastman Wind Ensemble. Mr. Fennell guest-conducted the Concord Band in a retrospective concert of band music during the band’s 25th anniversary season in 1984.
