This Overture, scored for Ml orchestra, with resonant brass and percussion, begins at once with a stirring theme played by the whole strength of the orchestra. After this is expanded and the opening has returned, there is a new tune played by 'cellos and woodwind against a triplet figure on the higher strings. Trombones break in forcefully and the opening is heard again. Then the time becomes more animated and a new tune is played by violas and woodwinds with the lower strings accompanying. This is worked out at some length and leads to a strenucus climax, and again the time changes, now to a slower movement. Violas and 'cellos together have then a fine rich tune accompanied by detached chords on the brass, with expressive little phrases on English horn and clarinet breaking in. Once more there is a change of time, and with it a change of key, and violas and woodwinds have a soft, delicate melody which muted violins accompany. On these materials the Overture is built up, coming to an end with a broad and forceful figure based chiefly on the second tune. It closes the Overture with a sense of real triumph.
