ABOUT THE WORK:

Brass Quintet No. 2 is the fruit of a collaboration with my dear friend Marques Ceasar-Lopez. We met while both pursuing our master's degrees at the Peabody Institute. While the idea of working on a project together came quickly, the piece did not. It was not until the summer of 2023, more than a year after graduation that I finally found myself ready to compose my second brass quintet. This piece marks a significant moment in my career as I transitioned from graduate student to professional composer. I started my career as staff arranger for the US Army Band "Pershing's Own" and grappled with the challenge of balancing Army writing with personal writing. This piece is the first composition that I completed since suffering from severe burnout at the end of my graduate studies. I tasked myself to "just write something and don't throw it away" and this proved to be the cure that I needed. I was delighted when the work was selected as winner of The National Federation of Music Club's "American Music in the Armed Forces" Composition Competition. Thank you for listening. Please enjoy!
