Homage
For Chamber Winds
During my studies in both composition and conducting, I encountered many works that inspired me and shaped my musical writing, especially for winds. Homage is a short four-movement piece that nods to “neo-classicism” while paying tribute to the composers and conductors from whom I have drawn inspiration.
I. Intrada — A fanfare-like opening with cascading scales and brief quotations from a prelude featuring obscure tonality.
II. Scherzo — A lively movement infused with Thai folk-inspired rhythms in a mixed meter.
III. Nachtmusik — A slow, lyrical movement led by the horn, evoking the calm of a night breeze.
IV. Toccata — A vigorous finale, driven by rhythmic energy and virtuosic interplay across the ensemble, with a homage to Thai boxing music.
I dedicate this piece to the conducting professors who inspired me and nurtured my love for the wind medium. Chamber Winds version commissioned by the Newfound Chamber Winds Music Festival 2026 for Tyler Austin and Yuji Jones.
