Saffron Sky for Brass Ensemble (2022) ~ 2.5 Minutes
Premiered in June 2023 by the South Florida Community Brass Ensemble, Armando Alicandu, Conductor
Composed for the South Florida Community Brass Ensemble, Saffron Sky is an evocative and dynamic piece that showcases nature's beauty with a bold and vivid illustration of sunrise. The piece creates an impressionist painting within the musical form using bright splashes of brass across the spectrum of colors shown in nature as a medium. The piece starts by evoking the image of a shore with light waves crashing. With its combination of bird calls and natural movement, the piece will transport you to the sun rising above the horizon.
