"A Twilight Fanfare & Fantasy" is a collaboration with the 2019 Rockwood Honor Band conductor, Chris Becker. The piece is crafted to blend aspects of musical genres that Mr. Becker enjoys, as well as the composer's preferences. The opening is a virtuosic trumpet fanfare that abstractly signifies the end of summertime. This time is often a mixture of emotions where children are excited to see their friends and share news about their time apart.
The remainder of the piece is meant to represent the shift to the twilight of the seasons, autumn. The sun sets earlier each day. The wind chills you to the bone. Leaves fall and whip around in the wind gusts. Sometimes there is even an early snow. These are memories and feelings to which many can relate.
I hope you and your students enjoy this piece!
