An excellent work for contest and festival use!  Based on the ancient hymn, All Glory, Laud and Honor, Acclamation is composed as a set of symphonic variations.  After an opening fanfare and a statement of the theme, three large variations in different styles are developed.  A final maestoso presentation of the principal theme is restated as a glorious acclamation.  Dedicated to all those who offer their time and talents to making music!
