Together in Harmony

Together in Harmony for brass and percussion is a wish for hope and peace after the tragedy of Ferguson, Missouri. The piece begins with an animated fanfare followed by a short fugue before evolving into W. C. Handy’s “St. Louis Blues.” The ‘blues’ begin in a medium rock style, before morphing into a New Orleans Groove style for full orchestra with the addition of a drum set, electric bass guitar and bass trombone . The music sways, syncopates, and imitates while all enjoy playing ‘together in harmony.’
