This work, originally scored for solo trumpet with concert band accompaniment, is dedicated to my friend Tim Nemzin. It was the result of a conversation we had at the 2016 Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic. While writing the piece, I occasionally sent Tim copies of my drafts. He would record himself playing, we would discuss the results, and then make changes as we saw fit. The result was a premiere performance with Tim and the Joe E. Newsome High School Wind Ensemble under my baton. In this setting for solo trumpet and piano accompaniment, I hope it serves trumpeters well as they develop their musicianship, and that it may be performed at solo festivals and recitals alike in the company of friends.
