The Work:
The “Concerto for Wind Ensemble” will be a Master Work for Wind Ensemble in a multi-movement format, of varying lengths and difficulty levels. Each movement will be within the four(4) to five(5) minute range, and all will be stylistically contrasting. The initial projected configuration of the piece will be:
Mvt. 1 - Fanfare
Mvt. 2 - Meditation
Mvt. 3 - Follies
Mvt. 4 - RE:flections
Mvt. 5 - Celebrations
Each movement will allow the virtuosic capabilities of the individual sections to be highlighted and emphasized, including a heavy emphasis on solo and small chamber instrumentations. The ultimate goal is the production of a Master Work for Wind Ensemble that places the full capabilities of the performers and instruments on display!
