A J.W. Pepper "Editor's Choice" for concert band. [View the YouTube score video with recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmP7oMaQFbk&list=RDMM61zoJVrQYOQ&index=2] Composed for the 2021 University of Mobile Honor Band in the most challenging season in memory. Taking place during the pandemic, the Honor Band was literally held in a large, half open tent outdoors - which allowed for proper distancing and air circulation. It wasn't ideal, but it happened in a very successful and, thankfully, healthy way. I felt that it was important to have a joyful, upbeat and hopeful piece of music to introduce to these students. "A New Horizon" was the result and I was very pleased with how naturally and effectively it seemed to work with this group.
