Product Description
Commissioned for the 5th CISM Military World Summer Games (2011) in Rio de Janeiro, the composition is a theme presented in 3 ways, each referring to the Olympic motto of the title, introduced by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, which means "faster, higher, stronger". The first part is a solemn fanfare representing the "Altius". Then the theme develops in a light way representing "Citius". Finally, we have a strong march that represents the "Fortius".
Unfortunately I dont have an official recording of that piece. However, the piece has been performed in concerts by wind bands in Brazil. One of these performances, by the symphonic band of the Military Police of Rio de Janeiro, is on my Youtube channel at the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjHC2UtgBGg
