Prologue-Park Fanfare is a two-movement piece that takes the performer and the listener on a journey through a landscape of diverse tempi, styles, energies, and emotional qualities. The piece is a tribute to Denver’s Cheesman Park - a favorite of Annie's - and the different sections are meant to represent the different meanings a beautiful natural space can hold in our lives, whether they be sources of joy or solace, reflection or planning, connection or solitude.
The first movement, Prologue is a feature for the rhythm section with an optional vibraphone part. Park Fanfare begins with the energetic "fanfare" motif that one hears throughout the piece. It's a journey through fast waltz, rubato chorale, and medium swing, with opportunity for lots of folks in the ensemble to be featured in solo sections.
