for five drums in "overture" form, Overture
for Timpani is an exciting recital piece to showcase

and lyrical opening, the overture bursts into its main "allegro"
theme which leads to melodic, energetic, and technical phrases
requiring various pedalings and cross-over stickings.
Overture for Timpani
is currently on the group 1 solo list for the
Florida Bandmasters Association.
This piece comes as a professionally
bound folio, and is not available as downloadable merchandise.
Requires five timpani.
