Victor C. Johnson’s jubilant setting of Arthur O’Shaughnessy’s beloved text, We Are the Music Makers, is an outstanding choice for a festive concert opener or closer. A bold fanfare sets the stage for a syncopated statement of the main theme, which then transitions into a lyrical, flowing middle section. A gradual build of energy and tempo propels the music back to its driving opening theme for a truly exhilarating finish!
