All is Waiting for unaccompanied trumpet solo

Duration: approx. 4 minutes

Program Notes

All is Waiting was written for Morris Northcutt. Morris asked for an unaccompanied solo that was reflective and humble. The word humble helped me when writing because it gave me permission to write in a simple, yet beautiful way that allowed the timbre of the trumpet to be the main focus. My intent with this piece was to reveal a sense of peace as well as longing. I believe a person reveals a sense of humility when they are able to find peace in the midst of waiting.
