Endurance , by Chris M. Bernotas, is an exciting overture that honors endurance athletes and anyone who pursues challenging goals. The piece starts fast and furiously, representing the initial excitement and adrenaline of a challenge. Eventually, it slows down and becomes more calm, representing the moments of doubt and fatigue that can occur along the way. The piece ends with a powerful and triumphant return, representing the spirit of endurance and determination. A perfect concert opener or closer! (3:50)
