In honor of my good friend David Hammond's 40th birthday, I completed a set for brass quintet.
The "Energetico" movement has been on my back burner for a number of years, but I never knew how to flesh it out, until this past February. The "Fanfare" was also in the same boat -- kinda stuck. But having the deadline of presenting the pieces for David's birthday gave me enough motivation.
The other two movements, "The Dasha Lilt" and "Katya's Journey" are named after his adorable daughters, Daria and Kathryn.
These mp3's were rendered with my new sound samples from East West/Quantum Leap, or soundsonline.com. They're very high quality samples that many Hollywood composers use. It makes mocking up and composing music with them a lot of fun and satisfying!
