Emperata Overture
The original publication of this work established Claude T. Smith's use of the 7/8-time meter as his signature rhythmic device for instrumental ensembles. This flexible arrangement allows ensembles to perform the work with as few as 14 musicians, providing accessibility and flexibility for numerous instrumentation needs while still allowing a full ensemble sound. The posted recording is based on the full band scoring but aligns with the suggested preferences for either woodwinds/strings or brass suggested in the score.
