High Spirits is a concert overture composed in 2011 and written in the composer's unashamedly lighter vein. The musical language is unambiguously tonal and the piece sets out to be attractive and joyful throughout, being upbeat both in style and tempo. There are several themes running through the piece but there is a unifying factor in the close link between the first main theme and the central slow section, and then the return of the opening idea which brings the work to its conclusion.
