FESTIVAL (1996) by Howard J. Buss is an imaginative quartet which exudes a contagious optimism. This beautiful and compelling work showcases Buss' unique style of soaring lyricism and exciting contrasts. Everyone in the ensemble has a interesting part as well. It is a memorable and upbeat concert piece and makes a joyous musical offering in church.
