AB OUT: Yet another stunning brass fanfare from Geritt W. Davenport, this quick work acts as a perfect opener for your brass ensemble! Feature agile horn and trumpet lines with powerful low brass, it is sure to enliven your audience this concert season!

FROM THE COMPOSER: This spritely fanfare is one of many small works that were just thrust upon me one evening. As many composers have certainly experienced, I sat deep in thought or what some would label more affectionately as “creative desperation” attempting to lay the first few notes for a much larger work. As I pondered and scoured my mind and imagination for these first few notes, I was struck with the tune for this little work. At that moment, I was compelled to drop all that I was doing and pen this piece to completion.

Some music is nurtured, polished, and built brick by brick over an extended period of time. Others however, demand they be put on the page as fast as humanly possible.

The title of this work serves as a representation and celebration of such an experience, inspiration crashing upon you, As Waves Against the Shore.
