for brass quintet
duration c. 00:05:00
Program Note:
Flight (2011) is a five-minute work for brass quintet that sweeps the listener through a musical journey of exuberance. The constant motivic eighth-note groove provides an energetic rhythmic underpinning over which melodic material floats in an effortlessly joyous arc. Featuring an improvised trumpet solo, Flight relies on the player’s own spur-of-the-moment emotions to complete the piece.
