​Comments about "FLIGHT" by the composer

​"I composed Flight at the request of the Annapolis Brass Quintet, to whom it is affectionately dedicated.  The work is in two movements, the first of which, through legato chromatic scales and glissandi, seems to convey the idea of "flight".  The second movement begins in a more sombre mood and works its way through a series of increasingly rapid variations back to a brief recap of the first statement."

"The Annapolis Brass Quintet... one of the best groups that we have ever heard... one of magnificent technical virtuosity and with sensitive critical interpretations"- BARCELONA LA VANGUARDIA  
The ensemble's annual U.S. tours, their brass symposiums, and the commissioning of new works by American composers have been instrumental in fostering the tremendous interest in brass chamber music that is now evident in our country.  ​
