His compositions appear regularly on honor ensemble programs across the country and have earned recognition on prestigious repertoire lists globally. His Panoramic Fanfare won the Dallas Wind Symphony's 2014 Call for Fanfares Competition and has since been performed by collegiate and professional ensembles throughout North America, a trajectory that speaks to the craft and durability of his writing.

Why we love this

Grant's fanfare strikes a genuine balance between accessibility and musical substance, making it an ideal choice for a beginning band that deserves a concert opener with real weight. The integration of Holst's Jupiter motifs gives the piece a classical resonance that elevates the program without alienating younger players, and the optional and advanced percussion parts mean your section can grow into the work regardless of current size.

What to expect

Celebratory without bombast, this fanfare radiates optimism and possibility. The Holst-inspired harmonies lend a timeless, almost ceremonial quality that transforms what could be a simple opening statement into something memorable and dignified.

Who it's for

Beginning and intermediate concert bands ready for a stylish, musically coherent opener that doesn't talk down to young musicians. Bands of any size will find appropriate parts for their percussion section, making this accessible whether you have two or eight percussionists on the roster.

How to get the most out of it

Balance the brass chorale sections carefully; even though the harmonic language draws from Holst, clarity of individual voices will highlight the sophistication of the writing.
Give your percussion section adequate rehearsal time with the optional and advanced parts so they understand how their choices either support or expand the primary material.
Approach the tempo and dynamic contrasts with purposefulness. Fanfares thrive on clarity of gesture, so commit fully to the contrasts rather than smoothing them over.
Use the opening moments to establish ensemble cohesion; a tight unison or octave entrance sets the confidence level for everything that follows.

How to use it

Program this as your concert opener to establish energy and sophistication from the first note. Its brevity and impact make it ideal for festival or contest settings where a strong first impression matters, and its classical underpinnings pair well with standard repertoire or more contemporary works elsewhere on your program.
