Spring is the time for renewal. We shed our heavier clothes in exchange for warmer weather, plant growth and new animal births. This is a 5-minute work for a brass choir of 5 trumpets, 4 horns, 3 trombones, baritone, tuba and percussion, and is divided into 3 sections: The Call to Spring, A Spring Rain and The Celebration of Spring. The lyrical middle section features a rain effect generated by the audience—very effective!
