Here is a mock-up of the new piece I just finished for Dunlap High School named “A Card from Ellen”. It is dedicated to the memory of a trumpet play who passed away far too early.
The piece is loosely based on a melody she wrote in middle school. Throughout the piece a 2 note syncopated theme represents her spirit and playful character, and most of the piece maintains this spirit. The title comes from the fact that she always made cards for family and friends by hand.
