Aotearoa Sketches
Brass Quintet
This piece was commissioned by Joe Smith and the Colorado Brass Quintet for their performance at the 2025 NABBA Championships and written in the fall of 2024. I had recently been on a trip to New Zealand with my wife, and while I live a rather charmed life that involves frequent travel to various interesting locations this was a life-changing experience and it became the inspiration for this piece.
