Overture to a Small Town

Written in honor of the victims of the mass shooting that took place at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas on November 5th, 2017, Overture to a Small Town portrays a sense of hope, dignity, and innocence.  The piece features movement of sections together as one unified voice, with individual articulations in various parts, such as the flutes, trumpets, and mallets, throughout.  A powerful statement.
