Discover the Wild: Overture for orchestra

• Fuchs composed this work for orchestra in October 2007.¹
• This work was originally intended for a PBS nature documentary, but when the documentary fell through due to lack of funding, Fuchs created an overture instead.²

“While the critical response to Kenneth Fuchs’s works has been exemplary, the truest test remains the overwhelmingly positive reactions of the audiences and the musicians who perform the works. His music communicates powerfully and directly to the listener. He speaks with a unique American voice, supported by a masterful compositional technique and expert orchestration.”

JoAnn Faletta, who has conducted many recordings of Fuchs’ work for Naxos³
