Light Score & Parts (PDF) - Grade 5
PDF of the score and parts for "Light," composed in 2022.
"Light" starts with a slow, meditative, repetitive piano figure that moves to a double-time feel for a solo section that is meant to be a section of trading for alto and trumpet. However, the piece could easily be turned into a solo feature for one of those two instruments. This is a piece that isn't technically challenging per se, but it is difficult to make it sound good, and it does feature extensive doubles in the woodwind section.
