Mountain Fanfare is an aggressive, sharp, and fun instrumental fanfare written for brass quintet. Featuring an articulate and biting opening, that gives  way to a lyrical interlude, before ending with a return to its earlier vigorous  material, Mountain Fanfare attempts to show the preverbal peaks and valleys of  the ensemble. Thus creating an important, but distant, connection to the mountainous place it was written, Morgantown, WV.
