about.

Composed in three sections, Drive On! Is an inspirational journey for any young ensemble. To quote the composer: “The music... is intended to inspire feelings of great courage in the face of danger. To reflect this, the title is a simple battle cry: ‘Drive On!’”​

The piece was written in the C Dorian mode and is divided in three sections: fast, slow, fast. The first section, written in a similar style to Holst’s First Suite in Eb begins with a driving eighth-note accompaniment in the clarinets with an agile melody in the horns and alto saxophones. The second section is much slower, quieter, and more exposed. The music takes on a haunting character, which leads to an introspective chorale. After a tempo change, the first section returns, and the piece finishes with a triumphant coda. This composition follows no particular narrative. The music, however, is intended to inspire feelings of great courage in the face of danger. To reflect this, the title is a simple battle cry: “Drive On!”
