Kensington Celebration by David Marlatt is an overture depicting the anticipation and excitement about a journey. This traveling could be to a holiday destination, meeting a friend or family member or to a specific event. This kind of adventure has so much to look forward to with many unexpected twists and turns along the way. This piece provides the opportunity to showcase all sections of the band as well as some solo moments for alto sax, trumpet, flute, oboe and baritone. Energetic outer sections surround a reflective and calm middle. (6:00)
