MARS
HILL FANTASIA was
commissioned by and is
gratefully dedicated to
Mars Hill College (now
Mars Hill University), as
part of the festivities
celebrating their
Sesquicentennial in 2006.
The work was commissioned
by their Low Brass
instructor, and my
friend, Dr. James
Sparrow. The university
is located right in the
heart of the beautiful
mountain area of Western
North Carolina, and I
wrote a work which both
celebrates the long and
distinguished history of
Mars Hill University and
its lovely mountain
setting. The work is
scored for two combined
ensembles -- an 8-part
low brass ensemble of
trombones, euphoniums,
and tubas, and an 8-part
percussion ensemble of
both mallet and
non-pitched percussion
instruments. The music
contains rich, sonorous,
and joyful gestures, with
stentorian fanfares,
resonant chords, and
lyrical melodies. It was
given a truly exciting
and festive premiere in
October 2006 by the
combined low brass and
percussion ensembles of
the music department of
Mars Hill.
