Work Overview
Some Heroes Teach Music, commissioned by the Shoalhaven Youth Orchestra (2022), is a dedication to music teachers everywhere.
The piece begins with a brief horn solo, accompanied by responding woodwind entries, before quickly setting into a steady percussive groove. The heroic melody is accompanied by swelling sustained strings and rhythmic brass and woodwind flourishes.
This accessible orchestral composition is the perfect addition for youth and intermediate orchestras, running for approximately 3 minutes.
