Program Notes

I wrote this fanfare for my wife Victoria for our wedding. This piece was designed to take advantage of the surrounding balcony and resonant acoustics of Middlebury College's Mead Chapel in Middlebury, Vermont, where we were married.

The title of this piece was originally Wedding Fanfare. Since this piece also works well for other events besides weddings, I have shortened the name to Fanfare.
