The Harmonic Winds of Utah Present: "The Hounds of Spring", by Alfred Reed

Inspired by a poem by Algernon Charles Swinburne, The Hounds of Spring portrays the unstoppable arrival of spring and youthful vitality. Alfred Reed contrasts lyrical beauty with driving rhythmic energy, symbolizing renewal, passion, and the restless excitement of life awakening after winter. The piece remains one of the most expressive and beloved works in the wind band repertoire. The Harmonic Winds of Utah is a non-profit Wind Ensemble organized by community members who seek to share the joy of music with each other and the community through musical performances. The ensemble is based in Davis County Utah and is comprised of musicians from the surrounding area. The primary goals of the Harmonic Winds are to provide a fun and exhilarating environment for musicians and to provide quality, exciting performances to the public.
