Festfanfare (1942) Alfred Uhl / Arr. Geoffrey Emerson

Alfred Uhl (1909 - 1992) was an Austrian composer, musician, teacher and conductor. As a composer, Uhl synthesized elements from neo-classicism, atonality, serialism and traditional tonal and contrapuntal idioms. His vibrant style combined technical sophistication and musical charm with wit and humour, rhythmic inventiveness, thematic development and advanced harmonic language. He wrote eight film scores, one opera, several choral works, and multiple symphonic and chamber music pieces.
