Program Note

“Radiant Glory” is a concert march for wind ensemble that intertwines two contrasting yet complementary tunes: “Hamburg” and “Salve Festa Dies.” The tune “Hamburg” has a chant-like quality, evoking a sense of love and sacrifice. In contrast, “Salve Festa Dies” brings a vibrant and celebratory energy to the piece. Together, these melodies create a narrative that captures the essence of a radiant spirit and celebrates the triumph of light over darkness.
