Lament and Proclamation

Winner of the 2013 Baylor University Competition Contest, this original work explores the emotional depth of Jeremiah's writings in the Book of Lamentations. Featuring several solo moments for the horn, soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, english horn, clarinet, trombone, and euphonium, this piece is perfect to show off the individual talents of the ensemble as well as the emotional dimensions of the entire ensemble. This was premiered by the Baylor Wind Ensemble under the direction of J. Eric Wilson.
