At The Speed Of Sound
(3 tpt, 4 hn, 3 tbn, euph, tuba, percussion)
Inspired by the potent dynamic capabilities of the brass family, as well as the phenomenon of sound itself, At The Speed Of Sound is a short, exuberant fanfare intended as a concert opener. The piece originates from a simple triplet figure, and the musical development is explored through rhythmic variation, canon, and polytonality.
