J.R. (2017) is a work for concert band that was commissioned by Associate Director of Bands at TCU, Mr. Brian Youngblood. I was astonished to receive this commission back in May and ultimately, I did not know how to approach writing a piece that was so emotional and personal to Mr. Youngblood. After meeting with him and taking notes, I really took the summer to plan the piece and ended up finishing it in late August. I wanted to capture the essence of who J.R. was and who Mr. Youngblood is and how he has dealt with the sadness and later acceptance of his father’s passing.
The piece starts somber and sad but later becomes epic, triumphant and filled with hope and life. I hope this piece is as inspirational to the audience as it is for me to have gotten the opportunity to write this and to see Mr. Youngblood’s dream finally realized.
