Title: Limestone Overture
Description: This is a piece of music for young band in rondo form that is based on a bright, infectious melody.  The theme is presented in three different meters (4/4, 2/4 and 3/4).  These meter changes, plus rhythmic vitality and dynamic lyric writing make this piece both fun to play, and an excellent selection for concert or contest.
Limestone Overture was commissioned by and written for the Limestone Middle School Band of Kankakee, IL.  It was first premiered on May 17, 1990 with the composer conducting.
