Kjos Music Twin Ports Overture - Camphouse - Concert Band - Gr. 5

Composer: Mark Camphouse
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Concert Band
Level: 5

Commissioned by the Twin Ports Wind Orchestra of Duluth, Minnesota, this work honours the life and legacy of one if its own members, James Stellmaker, who enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a public school music educator in Duluth. In contrast to a typical elegy, Twin Ports Overture has a celebratory feel, sparkling and colourful. Brass is prominent in many parts of the work, especially featuring Mr. Stellmaker's instrument, the trombone. The well-known hymn Praise Ye the Lord, The Almighty, which was played at his memorial service, is featured prominently throughout the work.
