The Moon That Fell From the Sky (2024):

Instrumentation: Horn in F

Program Notes: Taking great inspiration from the "miyako-bushi" scale and Japanese folk songs such as "Sakura Sakura" and "The Moon Over the Ruined Castle", this horn solo takes a lyrical melodic line and develops it through four differing sections.
