Wallowa Fanfare for Brass Quintet
Buy This Composition
Description
Explore the majestic Wallowa Mountains in northeast Oregon! Inspired by their extreme jaggedness and majestic appearance, this fanfare for brass quintet was originally written for the brass edition of Music Camps at Wallowa Lake summer camp in 2010. Also known as the "Alps of Oregon," the Wallowa Mountains are home to many camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities. This short fanfare is a tribute to their striking geography, starting with a simple melody, then expanding on rhythmic themes reminiscent of the range's pronounced sight line. Performance time is around 1:30, and is suitable for an intermediate brass quintet. This is a great piece to start a concert with, and a fun way to educate the audience on a short - but mighty - mountain range in Oregon!
