Instrumentation: 2 trumpets, horn, trombone, tuba (also available for bass trombone)
Duration: 2 minutes 
Year of Composition:
  2001
Program Note: I composed this quintet in the spring of 2001 for the opening ceremony of the new music library at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.  To me, the celebration reflected both the promise of something new and an appreciation for and love of the past, and I tried to capture a little of each in this short work.
Performed by the Metropolitan Brass Quintet
