Publisher Desc.  Tribute to Space Pioneers pays homage to the science fiction genre, and is a tribute to all those who have brought excitement and inspiration to people of all ages for many decades by making science fiction come to life! The piece opens with a slow, familiar, chorale-like setting, signified in the chimes, followed by the opening statement in the solo trumpet. This section serves as a call of honor to all those who have helped paved the way for the genre, and particularly those who have passed on. The piece then erupts into a fast and thrilling journey, which will take your audience on a true adventure into space and the unknown! The closing section depicts a calm, pensive reflection of the journey, and ends with the same somber, yet peaceful feel with which it began, indicated once again in the chimes. Please enjoy, Tribute to Space Pioneers!
