Hope in Bloom - Concert Band

"Hope in Bloom is a piececonceptualized for a young band.  I wanted to provide something in reperatoire that helps create the opportunity to draw attention to articulation patterns, accents and lyrical play in young, low wind training, where directors can work on expression and phrasing.  This piece aims to fulfill those goals.

I want to thank Brandie Folk for the opportunity to write this piece and Dr. Christopher Marra of Seton Hall University as the premier conductor at the 2022 Westmoreland County Music Educators Association 5th and 6th Grade County Band."
