So what I have done is create a chorale that is dedicated to their wind orchestra. The chorale is a slow chorale, but has multiple genres, including: Lyrical, Marchlike, and Timeless. I hope you enjoy A Chorale Dedicated to Besancon, France(En France, il y a un endroit qui s'appelle Besançon. Il se trouve que c'est mon nom de famille !

The Texas Revolution (October 2, 1835 – April 21, 1836) was a rebellion of colonists from the United States and Tejanos (Hispanic Texans) in putting up armed resistance to the centralist government of Mexico. Although the uprising was part of a larger one, the Mexican Federalist War, that included other provinces opposed to the regime of President Antonio López de Santa Anna, the Mexican government believed the United States had instigated the Texas insurrection with the goal of annexation. (from wikipedia- credited use). My piece perfectly encapsulates the revolution (from the guns, to the war motifs, to the mysterioso part). I hope you enjoy this piece.

The transtion from funk to latin is slightly surprising. and in measures 73-74, a random hit happens. This gives it a very odd rhythmic pattern. There is a solo section, and a bass trombone solo.

But I knew I may see them again, so I wrote a piece for that occasion. Titled This is Goodbye, the piece would be played with any band, and our three instruments: Flute, Sax, and Trombone. The piece is sure to stir up emotions, but it is a very beautiful piece for your band band to play. I hope you understand This is Goodbye.
