Echoes of the Homeland (Score & Parts) (Eighth Note Publications) David Marlatt

This is a musical journey following a young family escaping invasion by another nation. Leaving everything behind, they must flee from their beloved homeland to a new place and a new beginning. Unsure of the road ahead, the family forges on, confident in their decision to find a better life in far away lands. All they have with them is their culture, courage and hope that this new place will greet them and provide a new home. This music (scored for 8 trumpets) contains simple lines and hollow harmonies.
