PROGRAM NOTES
Mile High Overture — WORLD PREMIERE
Mile High Overture was commissioned for the 40th anniversary season of the Denver Brass.
The goal was to create a work that represented both the Denver Brass sound, as well as be
representative of Denver and the state of Colorado.
I live in Lincoln, Nebraska. While I love the area, when my family plans vacations we often try to
travel to locations that provide a decided change of scenery. We often travel to Colorado to take
in the wonder and beauty of the mountains. When composing this piece and thinking about the
Rockies and their draw for people, I realized that people don’t all come to the mountains for the
same things. Some come to gaze in wonder at the majesty of the views, experiencing moments
of quiet and contemplative awe, but others come seeking the thrills that the mountains provide.
From skiers to mountain climbers and snowboarders, these people are looking for something very
different than quiet contemplation.
In this piece I tried to capture both of these types of mountain-top experiences in musical terms.
The piece opens with a majestic theme that eventually moves into a faster and more rhythmically
exciting section (the listener can imagine whatever thrilling adventure they would like here). A more
introspective section then takes over, building to a powerful climactic moment that finally gives way
to a return of the thrill-seekers. I hope you enjoy it.
- Brian Pfoltner
PURCHASE NEW MUSIC FOR DENVER BRASS
One of Denver Brass’ greatest needs is sponsors to provide funding for the creation of
new musical works. Everything performed by the ensemble must be created to align
with our unique Denver Brass instrumentation and sound. Your gift of music will be
treasured, and your name will appear in programs when your piece is performed for
the next ten years. Call us at 303-832-HORN(4676) or email info@denverbrass.org to
ask about new works slated for the current and upcoming season.

AND SUPPORT DENVER BRASS
You are a critical part of our success. A donation of any amount helps us create,
collaborate, and engage with the community. Our donors not only support concerts
and musicians, but they also support our larger mission to bring the highest
quality brass performance, literature, and education to diverse and underserved
communities. Ticket fees cover only a fraction of the production costs of a Denver
Brass season concert, much less the additional expense of extraordinary guest
artists, new music commissions, or educational and outreach programs. The
Denver Brass is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit, so your donation is tax deductible.
Every penny counts – no amount is too small!
As we continue the tradition of creating exquisite brass music of rich emotion and
lasting impact, we ask you to make a donation today.
