Description
Written to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Modern Olympic Games (Atlanta 1996), Summon the Heroes is one of John Williams’ most powerful ceremonial works. This arrangement by Rieks van der Velde captures the symphonic grandeur and athletic energy of the original, from the opening solo trumpet fanfares to the massive, full-ensemble climaxes. It is a demanding work that showcases the bandâs technical precision, rhythmic vitality, and heroic sound. Perfect for grand openings, sporting tributes, or high-impact concert finales.
