Composed for Mstislav (“Slava”) Rostropovich and the National Symphony Orchestra, this exciting, yet brief overture received it's premiere performance in 1977. Constructed using two contrasting themes that are combined near the end, Slava! is adapted here by Robert Longfield with key and range considerations for school ensembles, but still retaining the energy and authenticity of the original.
