Fanfare and Homage

Written for the Kuching Wind Symphony in Malaysia, this high-energy piece is a tribute to the work of music educators around the globe. The dynamic opening fanfare section features bold brass statements, a short percussion break, and a lyrical solo for trumpet. A tender and emotional middle section includes short solos for flute, oboe (optional tenor sax), and clarinet, with expanded harmonies and a beautiful building section. The vibrant fanfare theme returns to cap off this well-crafted work for young players. Includes an optional DroneMap rehearsal aid created by Michael Pote. (c. 3:50)
