Fanfare and Homage

Written for the Kuching Wind Symphony in Malaysia, “Fanfare and Homage” is a tribute to the work of music educators around the globe. The dynamic opening fanfare section features bold brass statements, short percussion break and a lyric solo for trumpet. A tender and emotional middle section includes short solos for flute, oboe (opt. tenor sax), and clarinet, with expanded harmonies and a beautiful building section. The vibrant fanfare theme returns to cap off this well-crafted work for young players. (This publication includes an optional “DroneMap” rehearsal aid created by Michael Pote) Dur: ca. 3:50
