This is one of Vittorio Giannini's five major works for symphonic band. Dedication Overture reflects the deeply imbedded romanticism and beautiful grace of melodic line that are trademarks of this composer. Bold sonorities, surrounded with great drama and contrasting brilliance that balance the instrument choirs, propel the work to a brilliant chordal conclusion. Bright splashes of color!

Dies ist eines von Vittorio Gianninis fünf Hauptwerken für die symphonische Band. Dedication Overture spiegelt die tief eingebettete Romantik und die wunderschöne Anmut der Melodielinie wider, die Markenzeichen dieses Komponisten sind. Kühne Klangfülle, umgeben von großer Dramatik und kontrastierender Brillanz, die die Instrumentenchöre ausbalanciert, treiben das Werk zu einem brillanten Akkordschluss. Helle Farbtupfer!
