Their constant relentless pursuit through the heavens to reach their destination regardless of the turbulent winds that try to push them back and down. ‘Vuelo’ serves as a musical depiction of that pursuit while admiring the beautiful scenery of our atmosphere.” — from Program Notes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6059794b057a1d3eb9a2c849/d5543aee-19a3-416f-9bd2-231bb9fdeef1/Havoc-Cover-40p-scaled.jpg Featured Compositions - HAVOC 2019 - 1’40 - Concert Band - Grade 1 “Destruction of homes, towns, and cities are either of our own doing or the unrelenting force of Mother Nature.

However, it is no secret that the initiator of our demise is the Trumpet. With its haunting timbre calls for our inevitable destruction. Destruction by war in the first movement. Destruction by Mother Nature herself in the second. The unfortunate release of hell on Earth when the final trumpet, the seventh trumpet, calls the ominous siren of chaos. Nevertheless, we must enjoy our time now, nothing that is precious as life lasts forever, as musically depicted in the third movement. The seconds of our lives are ticking away. The constant battles, both internal and external will bring about the apocalypse. You've been warned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6059794b057a1d3eb9a2c849/1621834032588-T6DIWW88WTJ8JK3V2913/Netherrealm.png Featured Compositions - Netherrealm Concerto for Alto Saxophone 2019 - 14’40 - Concert Band - GRADE 6 The Alto Saxophone - also known as "The Devil's Horn".

Then finally, the unrelenting fire coming down from the hellish skies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6059794b057a1d3eb9a2c849/1621834292384-5UURSQF2Q3GH6763RFPO/Add+a+heading+%284%29.png Featured Compositions - Symphony No. 3 2018 - 17’25 - Symphonic Band - Grade 5 i - Conceit: Egomania is a double-edged sword. It feels great to be on top of the world, little do some know- there's only room for yourself. ii - Delusion of Reality: The underlying reality from a fabricated calm. It's all fun and games until the truth hits. iii - Anxious Delight: Hustle. Life moves quickly, almost like there's an accelerando under every year that passes.

The top of the world is waiting and all we have is a precious knowledge of self-destruction. https://www.musicjacobo.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-03-29 https://www.musicjacobo.com/ohno-404-yall daily 0.75 2022-11-29 https://www.musicjacobo.com/performance-submission daily 0.75 2023-07-12 https://www.musicjacobo.com/documents daily 0.75 2024-09-01
