Nico Samitz has been composing for chamber ensembles since his school days. For over ten years he has been writing works in a wide variety of genres for the “BlechReiz BrassQuintett” ensemble, in which he himself plays trumpet and piano. His field of expertise ranges from classical pieces to jazz and meditative musicand even to pop-oriented compositions. While honing his skills in ear-training and composition at the Mozarteum, Salzburg, Nico became acquainted with a wide repertoire of works as a trumpet player with the Munich Symphony Orchestra, The Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Bavarian State Opera, all of which have influenced his writing style. The driving force behind his creative work is a winning combination of passion, the fun of music-making and a desire to express, through the medium of music, feelings that are difficult to put into words. Like many of his works, Nico composedThe Joy of Freedom for the “BlechReiz BrassQuintet”. The catchy tune is reworked in a variety of styles throughout the entire work, giving it the quality of a true 'earworm'.

Enter, Anew is an exciting and accessible addition to beginning band repertoire, offering plenty of opportunities for the ensemble to develop their skills in a fun and engaging manner.The piece's triumphant character evokes the excitement, uncertainty, anticipation, determination, and resilience of embarking on new chapters in life. It inspires listeners to clear their minds, refresh themselves, and enter with confidence.The piece includes both triumphant tutti moments and more tender, expressive sections, allowing the ensemble to explore a range of textures and styles. Every section is showcased and given a moment to shine in a comfortable register. The clarinets stay under the break, while some adventurous flutes and trumpets can extend up the octave. The percussion drive the piece, providing a solid rhythmic foundation, while the rest of the ensemble gets to explore contrasting dynamics and articulations.Directors can easily incorporate Enter, Anew into their programs as a strong opener, inviting and welcoming to the audience; as an inspiring closer, sending them off with a memorable concert experience; or anywhere in between. The piece should be relatively easy to learn, but it certainly doesn’t sound like it, making it a fun and rewarding experience for the band.
