Three-Ring Wind-Up

  Dallas Wind Symphony Fanfare Contest Winner!

Based on an original theme sketched in 2004, Three-Ring Wind-Up was composed in the summer of 2006 in response to the Dallas Wind Symphony’s annual call for fanfares. The work represents a departure from the composer’s previous brass music: It is eclectic, jaunty, and brings together multiple musical languages within a brief three minutes. Included are an opening horn call, a sassy main theme with punchy responses, and a surprising fugato. The piece closes with a final “wind-up” . . . and a familiar quotation to announce the beginning of a circus.  Grade 4.
