Brass Quintet

I wrote this Brass Quintet in honor of the loving communities that surround those who suffer

tragedy . I am blessed to have been a part of incredible communities throughout my life who in

these unbearable times have given selflessly , grieved deeply , and held up those who were too

weak, as we all are, to bear the burden alone.

The following program offers a metaphor for such a community:

I.FearandFury

A rampant dragon lays waste to an unprepared city , whose best efforts afford it survival, but not

without severe loss.

II.AllWeHaveLost

grieves.

Coping with the devastation and death of beloved citizens and soldiers, the city remembers and

III.Reborn,Rebuilt

A fanfare rings out celebrating the strength of the city , rebuilt to thrive again.
