Century Fanfare

The „Century Fanfare“ was commissioned to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Tyrolean Wind Music Association in 2025. Composed as an opening piece for concerts during the anniversary year, it highlights the festive nature of the occasion. The work begins with powerful chords, alternating between high and low brass, creating a dynamic and impressive introduction. This is followed by a symphonic march section, whose grandeur emphasizes the solemnity of the celebration. The hymn-like character gives the piece a calm, dignified flow, seamlessly integrating into the overall composition. The fanfare theme returns in the final section, culminating in a majestic and powerful ending that enhances the celebratory atmosphere. A unique feature of the „Century Fanfare“ is its optional ending from bar 72, which can be performed as a 40-second standalone fanfare, offering a striking musical accent for special events. The composition is versatile and designed specifically for the festivities of the anniversary year.
