Program Notes
Gavorkna Fanfare was composed for and dedicated to Eugene Corporon and the University of Cincinnati College - Conservatory of Music Wind Symphony.
The work exploits the idea of a fanfare for full wind band, rather than the traditional brass and percussion instrumentation. The opening pyramids lead to the melodic minor third cluster heard in original and inversion simultaneously. A polychordal transition based on the upcoming "fugato" subject leads to a minimalist accompaniment to the four-part counterpoint. The opening idea returns with a coda based on the melodic minor third.
