Morse Fanfare was written to open my senior composition recital at Wayne State University. This piece makes use of an omnipresent "morse" ostinato pattern to drive it forward; one may think of messages being sent over radio or a breaking new story when listening to this work. Every instrument in the ensemble gets moments to shine, making for a very exciting concert opener.


Live performance by the Crusis Composers' Orchestra Brass at Shawn Lee's Senior Composition Recital, March 3, 2020.
