Originally written as part of a film score for Dziga Vertov's 1929 silent masterpiece "Man with a Movie Camera," the cue underscored a sequence depicting the art and leisure moments of daily Soviet life, offering a rare glimpse of intimacy and reflection within the film's whirlwind portrait of modern urban existence. Built on a repeating motif by the piano and spare textures, the music unfolds in a minimalist style with a haunting, lyrical melody that drifts in and out of focus. Both delicate and unsettled, the work suggests a quiet restlessness beneath the veneer of leisure and sense of beauty tempered by unease, mirroring the ambiguities of ordinary human life in a time of great social change.

A burst of energy drives this advanced arrangement, transformed from a gentle folk tune into a vibrant fanfare-like concert opener with patriotic color. Woodwind runs and fast triplet flourishes add sparkle, while soaring brass melodies give the piece dramatic lift. Additional parts for piano and harp broaden the scope of the music, making this short work feel rich and full. It's an ideal concert opener for strong advanced bands looking for something familiar yet boldly reimagined.

"Legends," originally composed in 2013 for the Euphonix Quartet, captivates audiences as a standout piece showcased on their 2015 album, "Nuclear Breakfast."

Inspired by the concept of legends, which are often intricately intertwined with historical events or locations, this composition delves into the realm of storytelling with a touch of enchantment.

Brass Quintet

Composed in 2013 for the Euphonix Quartet, "Legends" takes center stage as a captivating piece featured on their 2015 album, "Nuclear Breakfast." Inspired by the concept of legends, which are often intricately intertwined with historical events or locations, this composition delves into the realm of storytelling with a touch of enchantment.

Legends possess a unique quality  they are tales that are both believable and yet not entirely believed. It is this fascinating duality that forms the foundation of this piece. The interplay of musical elements within "Legends" mirrors the essence of these captivating narratives. The emotive and sweeping melodies capture the depth and drama of the stories, while the playful rhythmic motifs add a touch of whimsy and intrigue. The result is a composition that invites the listener to embark on a journey, where each note unfolds another chapter in a grand tale.

2 Baritones, 2 Tubas Quartet

Concerto for Euphonium (2005) was composed for longtime friend and collaborator, Pat Stuckemeyer. Written to highlight both the brilliance and expressive depth of the euphonium, the concerto blends virtuosity with lyrical beauty. From soaring melodic lines to passages of dazzling agility, the work seeks to showcase the full character of the instrument—its warmth, flexibility, and remarkable singing quality.

The concerto exists in two versions: with piano accompaniment and with concert band. In either form, it is designed as both a vehicle for the soloist’s artistry and a celebration of the euphonium as a true solo voice on the concert stage.

Hero’s Anthem (2005) was composed for the Bowling Green State University Trombone Quartet and captures the bold spirit and noble character of the instrument. Scored for four trombones, the work unfolds with a sense of grandeur and purpose, evoking the sound of ceremonial fanfares and stately processions while also showcasing the warmth and lyrical beauty of the ensemble.

"And the Joy We Share" is a poignant and uplifting composition commissioned in 2022 by Dr. Christian Zembower for the East Tennessee State University Wind Ensemble. This heartfelt piece was created to honor the memory of Christian's parents, Thomas and Patricia Zembower, who passed away just months apart.

To honor Patricia's love for the hymn "In the Garden" by C. Austin Miles, written in 1913, Taylor incorporated melodic motives from this cherished hymn as the foundation of the new composition. The title, "And the Joy We Share," is derived from a line in the hymn's refrain, emphasizing the profound joy experienced in the spiritual connection it describes.

And the Joy We Share

Concerto for Bassoon was composed in 2011 for Mary Stuckemeyer and later featured on her album Chocolates. Cast in three movements, the work opens with a lively, spirited first movement that highlights the bassoon’s agility and playful character. The second movement turns inward, offering a hauntingly lyrical theme that evokes a sense of solitude and longing. The final movement contrasts rhythmic, heroic gestures with a soaring, lyrical theme, balancing strength and vulnerability in equal measure. Together, the three movements showcase the expressive breadth of the bassoon, from its earthy resonance to its singing upper register.

This concerto also serves as a companion to my earlier Euphonium Concerto, written for Mary’s husband, Pat Stuckemeyer. While the two works do not share melodic material, they were conceived with a parallel spirit and form, intentionally crafted to feel as though they belong together. In this way, the Concerto for Bassoon not only honors Mary’s artistry, but also continues a musical dialogue between two instruments, two performers, and two friends.
