About the piece

Ascent for concert band represents the glorious call of duty that lives in the

hearts, minds, and spirit of the brave men and women of our Nation’s military

forces, first responders, and local heroes who protect us from harm’s way.

Ascent memorializes their steadfast courage, noble humanity, and honorable

service.

About the composer

Harnessing the chugging sounds of contemporary postmodernism,

Andres Luz derives his compositional idiom from the legacy of music history

stretching back to medieval stylistic techniques, up to those of the present

day. Mr. Luz is currently completing the Master of Music Composition at the

University of Redlands, studying with Anthony Suter.

Acknowledgements

Many thanks to the faculty, students, and staff at the University of Redlands, in

Redlands, CA for their support, inspired talent, and encouragement during my

study. Special thanks to Dr. Anthony Suter and Dr. Eddie Smith for their

valuable instruction and help. My experiences at UR have been very

rewarding and I have grown in my compositional and musical abilities

because of the superb guidance I have received. Thank you for everything!
