MOMENTUM     

Finalist in the Third Frank Ticheli International Composition Competition

University of Maryland Concert Band - Dr. L. Richmond Sparks.

PROGRAM NOTE
Momentum for wind ensemble begins with a call, a call for change, a desire to shed old habits and begin anew.  To call takes courage and if answered even more courage is needed to take the first step on a journey that leads to new possibilities.  The impetus to move forward builds slowly, but through time and effort eventually, it reaches a point of no return.  The journey begins.
