Clifton Williams, "Jimmy" was one of my music professors at the University of Miami. Played this under his baton, along with other Williams pieces. And he was a very nice man to boot! I enjoyed many lunches with him in the mid 60's. When I became a band director he guest conducted his Variation Overture with my Junior High band. Unforgettable! RIP my friend.
Bravo! I had the honor of playing this masterpiece back in the Spring of 1980 at Bethany College, Lindsborg, Kansas. Clifton Williams' music is in an elite class by itself and should be played more often! Every section is given a chance to shine in his works.
Played Clifton’s music in undergrad at Vanderbilt- thank you for performing this so well! This is music that should see more regular performances across the country.

All-world-all-time composer. Unappreciated and underappreciated by too many. I hear Copland licks. You were a genius, Clifton.
