This
piece was composed for
the Assisi Performing
Arts Festival woodwind
quintet. It's made up of
five movements, each
reflecting a different
aspect of the beautiful
and mystical town of
Assisi, Italy. Movement
one, 'Sunrise', begins as
the sun's light extends
over walls and the many
churches that adorn the
mountainside. Movement 2
is entitled 'Tourists'
and reflects the hustle
and bustle of incoming
visitors to the shops and
chapels with imitations
of car horns and the
pandemonium of the
crowds. The third
movement is
'Monasteries'. As the
orders of monks and nuns
are called to Vespers,
you can hear their voices
from monasteries, chapels
and churches throughout
Assisi. A beautiful
cacophony of sacred music
rises above the town! The
4th movement is titled
'Rocca Maggiore' after
the lookout post atop a
great hill that looks out
over the top of the city
and across the valley.
The hike up to this post
is steep, but at the top
you are rewarded with not
only a spectacular view,
but the songs of birds
soaring over the town.
The 5th and final
movement is 'Sunset and
Dinner with Family and
Friends'. This movement
symbolizes the end of the
day as all the tourists
are gone and the families
and friends in Assisi sit
down together for their
delicious evening meals.
Wine, incredible food and
conversation close out
the day as the sun sets
behind the mountain. This
piece was written as a
tribute to one of the
most spiritual and
beautiful places in the
world...Assisi,
Italy.
