Program Notes:

Within the first few days of my time at the Bay View Music Festival in 2015, the trumpet player Joon Park offered to have his brass quintet premiere a piece I'd write for them. I eagerly took him up on the offer, both for the chance to work with a live ensemble and to further my heretofore limited writing for brass.
