The first movement is reminiscent of a sonata form. It contains two contrasting themes that are continually developed. The second movement provides an energetic finale to the entire work.

This piece was selected to perform at the 2011 WASBE (World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles) Festival. It was performed on July 7, 2011 by violin soloist Ting-Yu Wu and the Taiwan Wind Ensemble with Prof. Lian-Chang Kuo conducting. The recording was distributed by Mark Custom Recording.
