Had the distinct honor of being in a clinician with Frederick Fennell in 1983 when I was in college and this was one of the numbers. The man was a conducting genius

Actually, check out the "Overture for a Musical Comedy" - it was published in 1997, and the story is that it was a work of Chance's that was found after his death. We just did a recording session of Chance's work - The Elegy is one of my favorites.
Wow, I get so many goosebumps from 5:06 to 5:44.
Very chilling.

A stunning piece, so well crafted and full of genuine emotion. I played it at the beginning of my freshman year (back in 1996) in the college symphonic band and was very moved by it. It's one of those pieces you don't forget.
