This work was begun September 19, 2018 and the final notes of the full work were competed the day I played a concert with the Canadian Brass Quintet May 4th, 2019

This full composition is just slightly longer than the average concert; 24 minutes, but a manageable size concert work, and similar to The Mindset with eight sub-group works.

A musical composition that depicts strength and vitality

This composition is written with a stucture similar to my Op. 242 "The Mind Set" Movement one & three are writtenin eight parts, each part is for a differnt ensemble of soloists. These are each about five minutes long and are called mini-concertos and are variations on the large concerto.
