Why I Wrote This Piece
Written to explore the warm, lyrical possibilities of brass ensemble music beyond the fanfares and ceremonial works that dominate much of the repertoire.

PROGRAM NOTE
In the beginning of For When We Arrive, the music repeatedly almost reaches a satisfying arrival. However, with each swell, we fall short of our anticipated destination. At measure 45, we seem to give up and restart, trying our luck in a new key.
