A tour de force concert opener (or a striking closer) that rips right out of the gate with a four-notemotive functioning as the genesis for the rest of the piece. It comes complete with bursts ofbrass fanfares, woodwind flourishes, percussion interjections, and biting harmonies thatbuild tension only resolved at the final chord. This piece packs an incredible amount of music in ashort period of time. Before you know itùwham! It's over. One of O'Loughlin's finest works to date!
