Garrop's brass quintet describes the daily journey of the sun god, Helios, as he crosses the sky, then sleeps through the night in a golden boat which carries him back to the beginning. As such, her soundscape ...begins with a fast and fiery sunrise and ends in a serene, sunset mood. Helios was commissioned by the Gaudete Brass Quintet, who also recorded the work on Chicago Moves (Cedille label). Of all the music on the disc, this one is so well played, it stood out as one of my favorites. (quotes from John J. Puccio, Classical Candor) For advanced performers. Duration: 4'30.

El Huapango Guango was initially inspired by the popular orchestral classic, Huapango by Jose Pablo Moncayo. In south Texas the Spanish word guango (pronounced wongo) is slang for describing something that is loose or wobbly. Although my huapango begins with traditional Mexican rhythms and harmonies, it rapidly takes many twists and turns through a harmonic vortex causing it to stray from the familiar huapango style. El Huapango Guango is my attempt to create a new style of this musical genre for the 21st century.

I have always been inspired by stories of handicapped athletes who, despite their physical limitations, are able to overcome many challenges and attain their goals. Starting from a musical portrayal of five athletes in a competition, to the kind of emotional turmoil that they experience along the way, this brass quintet will hopefully serve as a reminder to us that no matter how difficult things might appear to be in the quest of our lives, we would be able to conquer all barriers in the end as long as we are determined to do so.
