  6. Inspiration My inspiration for this peace came by surprise. I admit it was quite weird where I came up with the original melody. I was sitting in my room rather bored one night and I decided to look outside at the frozen ground by the stands where we used to march. I smiled and remember all those great times and all of that drama that occurred on those stands. On that track was were we ran for Gym so I decide to hum a melody, it entranced me and enveloped me. This composition is for my high school wind ensembles spring opener :) Kool

  8. Thank you for the comments and I will update the midi file asap. Thank you for your time and energy.
  9. Inspiration- It was last month at the M an T state finals for foot ball in Baltimore MD. It was a cold day but a warmer night. The aroma of the arena filled us with hope. But not everyone was happy. Where I am Im kinda a loner. As we were about to march onto the field I looked to the Crowd of people, my classmates, my peers. Then It all hit me, I had been taking abuse all year. People had been calling me names. People who I didn't know avoided me. They threw stuff at me every day. So as I looked over this crowd a melody struck me. With my instrument in hand and mouthpiece nearby I hummed the opening notes of this new composition. G-A-B….I became angry and sad. I didn't know what to think. I looked at all of the people that made my life hell. And shunned me for who I was. As I gazed out to them I crafted a melody and a story to tell for the ages. AND TO SHOW THEM WHO I AM!how this came to be- I originally was going to give this composition to a cellist with many elaborate double and triple stops and ringing dissonant major and minor chords. I started crafting this composition two days before the winter break.Written for- In mid november in a late night skpe call with Micheal Lewis and some of his friends from Georgia were talking. We mentioned exchanging solos.THIS COMPOSITION REPRESENTS MY SEARCH FOR SELF. Southern Skys
  10. This composition is for an old friend. This composition shows how we met from the first few slow dissonant bars. Then this composition opens up to show the True demeanor of our doomed friendship with many minor chords. Thus the tune transfers into implied and developed recurring minor ideas to make the listener feel the kind of pain that our friendship ended in. Within the music the solo sax in the cadenzas is supposed to keep the hope,keep the peace alive. This solo is going to be played by an advanced saxophone player in her senior recital.Long Ago Never felt So Close Long Ago Never felt So Close
