Lake Forest Overture imagines a sight-seeing adventure through a natural area near a lake.  After a short majestic introduction, the first theme, measures 5 – 36, represents teeming wildlife in the forest.  The next part, mm. 37 – 58, describes a forest glade area, with sunlight streaming through tall trees.  The following section, mm. 59 – 75, serves to depict streams flowing from the hills, heading for the nearby lake.  Finally, the concluding segment is about sailing on the lake.

Lake Forest Overture is a medium difficulty composition, which employs several contrasting styles and affords interesting parts for all included instruments.

January Suite, for Brass Quintet, is a four movement composition displaying different moods of our coldest month.  If one lives in a warm location, this might help a person imagine January.  Although the movements all display a certain amount of minor tonality, January has many aspects to enjoy.  Usually, that enjoyment does not overshadow the hope that warmer weather will be arriving before too long. 

Musically, January Suite provides all players with interesting and integral parts, with lines being somewhat polyphonic.  The melody is distributed among the different players in each movement.  Elements of syncopation are found to some degree throughout, and the third movement has a significant use of chromaticism.  Enjoy January Suite at any time of the year!

Will work for a High School or College ensemble.
