Beyond Words
Beyond Words is a lyrical piece written in honor of Dr. Eric Hammer, Director of Bands at University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. A treasured conductor and mentor to generations of music educators, he was known for his musicianship, enthusiasm, desire to make every day a good day, and good humor. This piece is filled with beautiful melodies, solo and soli opportunities, and an optional aleatoric section that allows for creativity and improvisation for your players.
Composer Dr. Ruth Brittin is donating commission fees and proceeds to Dr. Hammer’s scholarship endowment in Pacific’s Conservatory of Music.
