I’ve received some great questions over the last couple of weeks doing some Zoom visits with bands. It is a thrill to contribute pieces to the concert band & wind ensemble repertoire. There’s so many great works, but if I had to pick a GOAT 🐐 … It’s First Suite in E-flat. What is your GOAT for band?

I invite you to take a few minutes to consider how these pieces might be beneficial for your ensembles to study and perform in the months ahead. It was a joy working on these pieces as it completed a journey for two of my older works, brought two commissioned works to a larger audience, and broke new ground with works for younger ensembles.
