Additional info/contents	Der berühmte Film- und TV-Komponist Lennie Niehaus präsentiert nun diese Overtüre für die junge Band. Beginnend mit einem Grandioso, bewegt sich 'West Hills' bald weiter in einen strahlenden Teil, der voller Aufregung steckt. Im folgenden langsamen Teil, der im 3/4 Takt gehalten ist, wird den Holzblasinstrumenten mit einigen schönen und ausdrucksvollen Linien, die einige Unabhängigkeit zwischen ihnen erfordert, die Möglichkeit gegeben, sich in den Vordergrund zu stellen. Die Komposition kehrt dann zurück zum heiteren Tempo und zu einem sehr lohnenden Höhepunkt. Noted film and TV composer Lennie Niehaus has come up with a real winner in this overture for Jr. High and Middle School Bands. Starting out Grandioso, 'West Hills' soon moves into a bright section which is full of excitement. A slow 3/4 section allows the woodwinds to come to the forefront with some beautiful and expressive lines that require some independence between the woodwind voices. A return to a bright tempo brings the composition to a very rewarding climax.
