This is a fanfare dedicated to those who like adventure. Who doesn't like an adventure anyways? This takes you through a medieval era full of knights, kings, peasants, and blooming kingdom valleys. As the royal guard from the neighboring kingdom Briburg makes their entrance into the capital, Oudreovalon, you hear this fanfare play from their buisine horns and accompanying drums. You watch as the royal posse makes their entrance known and converse with the king of Oudreovalon. All is well. The citizens and noble guests are all elated. You go back to your chambers, and rest easy with the fanfare waning as the Briburg majesty and his guard head towards the Oudreovalon palace.

This composition started out with the motive at the very beginning in the tuba. From there I had developed it by having each instrument getting a variation of the motive at some point in that section. I also wanted to repeat the main motive again after a contrasting section. The title describes each section respectively, with "Movizia" portraying the main theme in the
beginning and at rehearsal mark E with a workforce march orchestration to it to represent the peasant level of a monarchy system. "Monarch" describes the middle contrasting section because I envision, when I hear this section of the piece, a processional march to the royal king and queen as they walk throughout the kingdom they oversee. At rehearsal mark F, the two themes combine in alternated variations to showcase the monarchy culture in its entirety.

Piano Solo

This piece has been based off a poem by Lynne Knight, Body in Late Meditation. The melodic soprano line has the words of the poem with a piano accompaniment. Each
stanza throughout the piece has its own character and theme, but still fits within the genre the poem describes generally. This poem to me is about the relaxation and the struggle to feel completely at peace. The makeshift title “Typhous Tranquility” means diseases caused by rickettsia leading to peace. To have true amity, you must first struggle and fight. With this motive in mind, I created this piece with a flip-flop sensation between struggle and peace using the various features that music
has to offer. The poem is as follows:

An hour from now the river will be grey, the
last light rising up from it like smoke, all
trace of its red brilliance gone. This day will be the past,
when voices called or spoke

like rushing water, slowing as the cold of
night came nearer with its hints of death.
How quick all passing is! Even these bold
reds, spread like fire, give way to icy breath

tingeing the trees and banks unearthly white. If
night were one long dream of being held inside
the lover’s arms, we’d stay there, light with joy
we’d never want to see dispelled.

We’d lose these dark-banked fears of growing old,
of slipping off like water, deep and cold.

It's party time! The Whirlygig is a fun, whimsical, and memorable short piece that utilizes idiomatic techniques for the saxophone. Some of these techniques include pitch bends, glissandos, and slap tonguing. From beginning to end, I wanted to put the listeners of this piece in the center of the popular party that everyone talks about. The music is the party after all. Near the end, things go south as the party is crashed due to an unforeseen event and causes everything to stop. Then the awkward silence hits. But things quickly resume to normal operation and all is merry. Throughout the piece, there are, as many people call catchy melodies, "earworm" melodies, just like you would find in a real-life party setting with the music. Sometimes the music is adrenaline-rushing and it makes you feel alive, like the opening melodic motive of The Whirlygig. Other times the music scares you unexpectedly, like the shift during the middle portion of the piece. All in all, the piece keeps its groove and entertainment up until the party crash. But then it quickly resumes! The night is still young!

The Lost Colony is a journey describing the tale that was the Roanoke Colony that was first established in 1585. This is a story of the strange disappearance of over 100 colonists. It began with the colony founder, Ralph Lane, in 1585. They first set up on Roanoke Island, now known as Dare County, North Carolina. The colony struggled due to a lack of sufficient supplies and poor relations from local Native Americans that were already established on the island. Lane abandoned this colony and went back home to England. Following the failure of the 1585 colony, a subsequent colony under the jurisdiction of John White was sent back to the same geographical location two years later. White and his new colony was pinned down on Roanoke with flagship pilot Simon Fernandes just shortly after setting up camp. White, to keep the peace, agreed to return to England on Fernandes's behalf, while also having the intention of bringing more supplies back to the colony from England. When White reached England, the Anglo-Spanish War was in full effect. The war caused White's return voyage to the colony to be delayed, not reaching the colony until 1590. Upon his arrival to the colony, he did not find his colony, rather a very cryptic message carved into the side of a tree, CRO. White Interpreted this as a code message from his fellow colonists, meaning that they have relocated safely onto the island of Croatoan, just farther southwest from Roanoke Island. Before White could chase after his beloved friends and adversaries in the colony, he was forced to ship back to England once again due to inclement weather conditions and lack of supplies for a. longer expedition. To this day, the fate of over 100 colonists' lives is still a mystery. Whether they truly settled on the island of Croatoan, or migrated someplace else along the coastline is a major debate among historians and archaeologists. This piece of music will take you through the journey of the Roanoke People, from start to finish.
