Sanctuary

After the massive 22-minute composition for symphonic band called “Gaudi”, Joshua continues his journey into architectural-based composing with a sequel for wind ensemble. He emphasizes in music that we as a human race must surround ourselves with architecture that’s intimate and beautiful, that can bring us together, and embolden us to work toward the common good of others. Using the unique sound of the wind ensemble and the emphasis on harmonies of three medieval church modes, Joshua composes a serious lyrical work that advocates for the importance of architecture as a tool for our inner peace, comfort, and healing.
