A bright and kinetic curtain-raiser alluding to Beethoven’s “Ninth Symphony” through themes employing the characteristic descending perfect fourth and the first four notes of the “Ode to Joy.”
Reviews
Sierra's A Joyous Overture...reaffirmed one of the strongest compliments that can be paid to a composer today who chooses to work with traditional tools of melody, harmony, and rhythm: His music represents a unique voice, striking in its originality and bearing no traces of derivation or imitation.
