    "...The fanfare was commissioned in 1926 by the Czech gymnastic organisation, Sokol, and later became the opening movement of his most popular orchestral work. The piece, lasting two minutes, is built around brief repeated phrases that evolve through a series of short sections to an electrifying climax…This piece is both aurally and visually stunning and rivals Copland's 'Fanfare for the Common Man' as the most impressive of its genre."
