<p>A work for advanced concert band inspired by the music of Scotland. A broad, resonant woodwind chorale sets the tone before the brass take over with their own statement, leading into a driving 6/8 Scottish reel. A key change ushers in a slower, more reflective middle passage with trumpet and horn solos to add expressive highlights along the way.  It's a strong fit for advanced high school or collegiate ensembles looking for a unique piece with substance and musical variety.</p>

Growing up in Michigan brings with it the appreciation of living in a place of vibrant seasonal changes.

The time signature changes with fun technical scale passages during the 3/4+ 4/4 section should glue together rather effortlessly with consistent percussion.
