Lonely Travelers

Lost in the early stages of the pandemic, I wrote a piece for Dennis Emert’s Elementary Band from Fox Chapel for their performance at the 2020 PMEA Conference. Although we were disappointed that the debut was canceled, it was a pleasure visiting with he and his students virtually last spring. “Lonely Travelers” is a setting of the folk songs 900 Miles and Wayfaring Stranger. The piece is well within the playing ranges for most elementary bands. It is published by Carl Fischer.
