For a Composition 2 Skills project my freshman year of college, I was tasked to compose a brass trio, which quickly turned into the challenge of arranging the "empty" piece into a full brass choir. With 12 parts, "Canto Del Guerriero" portrays the epic story of a warrior's journey in battle, hearing the drastic battle calls that the warrior cries out before his climatic downfall. Written in ABA form, the piece is representative of a movie score: it commences with mysterious beginnings, a fanfare intro into battle, the heights of the war, and the tragic farewell of the warrior.
