Western Fair

Western Fair is an energetic, uplifting piece that can be fun for both players to perform and listeners to hear.  It is composed using two main melodies that are performed in many forms, combined in various fragments, and supported with different harmonic backgrounds, giving it new life each time it is heard. The piece slowly builds from a simple horn solo into an epic, cut-time feel in the middle before driving to an exciting ending. Written for brass quartet (trumpet 1 & 2, French horn, trombone, and tuba).
