Baroque Celebration

Baroque Celebration is based on what might have happened if a baroque composer would have had access to the incredible forces of the modern wind ensemble. The director is encouraged to experiment with various combinations of movements and tempi as well. All of these movements can be played at a wide range of tempi and still remain completely effective and vital.
