The Forgotten Village—Michael Oare. This
overture for second-year players tells the musical
story of Portsmouth Village, once a bustling sea
village on North Carolina's Outer Banks, but now
a ghost town with past glories only a memory.
In this descriptive work, the slow and reflective
opening paints the picture of empty buildings and
lost glory. A vibrant faster section relives the hope
and promise of the past with driving rhythms and
melodic lines passed from section to section.
