Zealot’s Trial

for C Trumpet, B♭ Trumpet,

French Horn, Trombone, and Tuba

Zealot’s Trial delivers a fast-paced, unrelenting torrent of notes that are juxtaposed between moments of reprieve. The scene that was created painted moments of intensity and passion against a backdrop of inevitable realities. I choose this title reflect a story of a character whose moments mirror the music that is taking place.

The piece was premiered at the 2019 NAfME National Conference by Members of the Orlando Philharmonic.
