Native Ohioan Ewazen, upon seeing the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies for the first time, was moved to compose this compact, heroic celebration of the grandeur of brass instruments, as he describes it. Premiered by the Boulder Brass (Colorado) and the Brandt Brass (Russia), Front Range Fanfare also captured the attention of a French brass ensemble, attesting to the global appeal of Ewazen's music. For advanced performers.

Ewazen's double trombone quintet was composed in memoriam for the late Glenn Dodson, and reflects (Dodson's) lively spirit and the singing sounds of his instrument. Its first performance was given by a group of former students at a memorial concert, celebrating the life of the former principal trombonist of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Ewazen points, in particular, to a fugue section in the work, fittingly based upon the Tuba Mirum from Mozart's Requiem. For advanced performers.

For clarinetist Ayako Neidich and the NY Licorice Ensemble (a true musical bridge between New York and Japan), Ewazen has refashioned two of his fanfares, originally scored for other forces. An orchestral tone poem, Fanfare from Monument to Color and Light, was remade as a trumpet ensemble, and now finds new life as clarinet choir. His Front Range Fanfare, originally for brass ensemble, brings its grandeur and majesty to clarinets. These new settings bring a celebration by Ewazen to better clarinet choirs. For advanced performers.

For this horn ensemble, Ewazen finds genesis in quite a different setting - Las Vegas and environs. The Valley of Fire reflects the color and intensity of its namesake; Those Who Came Before is more reflective, a sense of wonder at civilizations long gone; and Neon Eldorado captures the man-made wonder that is Vegas, through high energy jazzy joy. For advanced performers.
