For the Olympic Flag
Commissioned by the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games Cultural Olympiad in honour of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games. Written to be played by the Olympic Band whenever the Olympic flag appears, this work features brilliant brass fanfares interspersed with exciting flourishes in woodwinds and percussion. The main theme has a dramatic flow that is occasionally punctuated with motifs from the opening fanfare. A contrasting middle section features the low brass.
