A Flourish
for orchestra
(*2 2 2 2 - 2 2 1 1 - perc(1 player) - str)
A Flourish is a short fanfare for orchestra in which a number of fragmentary ideas are interwoven in rapid succession. Except for a thunderous climax for timpani and full orchestra, the general character is one of lightness and rhythmic energy.

First performance:
August 9, 2003, Stony Brook, NY, the Stony Brook Summer Music Festival Orchestra, Paul Hostetter, conductor.
