Program Notes
The Iowa sky is like no other. I often find myself mesmerized with its countless hues and dancing reflections of light that stretch across the horizon. Traces of Amber Sky was inspired, in part, by this amazing occurrence of nature.
Commissioned by the Iowa Bandmasters Association for the 2018 All-Iowa 8th Grade Honor Band.
