Escape 

for brass quintet (2007)

Escape was written for the University of Maryland graduate brass quintet and was premiered at the conclusion of my Masters Degree recital.  Written in a cinematic style, it depicts a rapid decent down Castle Crags (pictured below) amidst a violent storm.  It works great as an opener/closer and is a blast to perform.

 

Duration: 4'30"
