Dakota Fanfare - (grade 5) - Dakota Fanfare is a work that strives to expand on the idea of the opening fanfare. Although longer than a typical fanfare (~3'30”) it still would be categorized as a short work in the realm of wind band literature. Dakota Fanfare differs from most fanfares because it provides substantial development of its themes along with a driving rhythmic pulse. The rhythms presented are not typically associated with the fanfare style. The opening is startling with a flurry of trumpet sound. As the work develops it is constantly pushing forward with a feeling of intense rhythm. Dakota Fanfare was commissioned in 2009 by the students , colleagues and friends of Mr. James McKinney, South Dakota State University director of bands from 1983-2009, in honor of his decades of tireless passion, enthusiasm and love for his students and the music he helped them to create. The piece was premiered in 2009 by the Dakota Wind Ensemble, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
