for orchestra
This Overture was commissioned by the 1962 Royal National Eisteddfod of Wales, where it was first performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Direct and light-hearted in character, the music makes extensive use of popular (particularly Latin-American) dance rhythms. There are three main ideas; two of these are basically canonic or imitative by nature, and are furthermore heard simultaneously in the compressed recapitulation section.
