MORNING JOY

Grade 3.5

I wrote this piece over March Break in 2024. The idea for the song came about during a morning

jam session with my seven year old son. He helped come up with the first two chords as well as the

title of the song. He is pretty proud of himself! This piece will be a good introduction for my

students to the time signature of 5/8. The middle section gives a break from the 5/8 groove and the

melody is a transposition of the bass line from the main theme. Thanks to David Lum and Colin

Clarke for their thoughtful orchestration advice on this music.

About the Composer

Wesley Cheang is a composer, performer and educator from Toronto, Canada. He is a graduate of

York University's Jazz Performance Program and spent many years performing with local jazz

groups in the Toronto area. As a result, his music is as much about jazz harmony and rhythms as it

is about the tradition of concert band music. Wesley is the head of music at Albert Campbell C.I. in

Scarborough, Ontario and workshops all of his concert band music with his students. His

composition Three Balloons was a finalist in Category 1 of the WASBE (World Organization for

Symphonic Bands & Ensembles) Composition Contest for 2024. His piece Forward, received

honorable mention in Category 3 of the same contest.
