Aces (c/b) Robert W. Smith

98/RWS Symphony Band Series
Composed for the United States Air Force Academy, 'Aces' pays tribute to those that soar the skies. Beginning with a brilliant and majestic fanfare, the piece quickly develops through bold musical material wrought with tension and energy. Following the return of the opening theme in a beautiful and lyrical setting, 'Aces' culminates in a flurry of excitement as our jets soar into the distance. A spectacular new work by Robert W. Smith for the accomplished concert band!
