The FANFARE was commissioned and premiered by the Washington Festival Orchestra in 1978. Other orchestras which performed the FANFARE requested additional movements, resulting in the addition of the INTERLUDE and FINALE a few years later, premiered by the Twin Cities Symphony in 1983. This short FANFARE has a lively theme in mixed meters (often juxtaposing 2/2 and 3/8) with a slow middle section which leads back to a return of the theme. FANFARE, INTERLUDE AND FINALE was the first orchestral work composed by Gwyneth Walker after her years of conservatory training, and a spirit of freshness and enthusiasm of a composer starting her professional career can be heard in her approach.

Review
"Miss Walker writes in the traditional form, but with enough of a modem touch to make her music vivid and appealing. Her ability to capture musical moods is magnificent!" --San Dee Wallace, The Herald Palladium , St. Joseph, MI. "Walker's Fanfare, Interlude & Finale is ingeniously orchestrated. Moods shift rapidly from quiet, reflective sections to jazzy, foot-tapping passages. It is an appealing piece that is accessible even on first hearing." --Roland Calvert, Daily Telegram
