Academic Fanfare Brass Quintet
Publisher Desc.
This energetic, musically satisfying, one-minute fanfare was composed in
2004 during Daniel Thrower's time serving as professor of trumpet at Brigham
Young University-Idaho. It was appropriately premiered by the BYU-I Faculty
Brass Quintet. "Academic Fanfare" became the theme tune for the
Phoenix Chamber Brass, and was used to open every PCB performance for a
number of years. Dr. Thrower was a founding member of PCB, and performed with
them for the 2006 i 07 season.
Aside from its use with BYU-I and PCB as a concert opener, the
audience-grabbing nature of "Academic Fanfare" is extremely
effective for announcing anything of importance, such as ceremonial openers,
graduations, inaugurations, award ceremonies, etc. It is important to keep in
mind, however, that in such circumstances, shorter fanfares may be more
fitting. Throweris collection of 20 short fanfares for brass quintet is a
must for every gigging brass quintet, available through Hickman Music
Editions (www.HickmanMusicEditions.com).
