SUGGESTED INSTRUMENTATION
The following suggested instrumentation list is provided below, divided into the five parts each of these
instruments has been assigned. Any combination of instruments at your discretion, as long as they each fulfill the
five different parts, can be used to perform this work. Additional instrumental parts fulfilling another role are
available upon request (ex: Bass Clarinet on Part IV instead of V).
Experimentation with this piece's orchestration is highly recommeded. Use what available resources you have and
get creative with color and texture (example: if you have an Electric Bass, or even an electric string quartet or
quintet, use it! Go wild!). These experimentations can be used as a learning tool for your rehearsals and
performances in how color and texture can change with even the smallest difference in orchestration (example:
have the flutes play a melodic passage alone, then another high group of voices such as clarinet and/or soprano
saxophone if available. What are the differences in timbre? Does it affect the mood or emotion of the piece? How,
if so?). To that end, this version of the piece can be used as an endless sea of experimentation and creative
possibilities for you and your students, no matter what the performance situation or instrumentation may be.

PERCUSSION LIST
All percussion is entirely optional. If parts can be assigned, preference should be given to drum set, auxiliary
percussion, and timpani.
Timpani, Glockenspiel, Marimba, Drum Set (snare, kick, 2 toms + floor tom, woodblock, hi-hat, crash), Bass Drum
+ Suspended Cymbal (one player), Auxiliary Percussion (one player is preferred; use two players if available and
absolutely necessary - Cowbell, Tambourine, Castanets, Maracas, Claves, Timbales)
A Keyboard Synthesizer can also cover any of the mallet parts at your discretion - again, get creative and
experiment as much as possible!
BACKING TRACKS FOR THE PERCUSSION/ADDITIONAL INSTRUMENTS, AND CLICK TRACKS, ARE
AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU USE THEM FOR YOUR
PERFORMANCE IF UNABLE TO ASSIGN THE PERCUSSION AND ADDITIONAL INSTRUMENTS.
PERFORMANCE NOTES
-References are given in the five parts for octave tranpositions (optional or otherwise) and solo passages (if any of
the parts can be doubled). Additionally, a few passages have been omitted in individual instrumental parts if
absolutely necessary (ex: if impossible for a specific instrument to play).
-STRINGS (if used): If the parts are doubled, follow all guidelines, as written and at your discretion. If one player
is used, the top line of every div. passage if preferred. Use double stops and triple stops wherever possible.
Bowings should be determined by conductor and concertmaster before rehearsals and performance (ex: all slurred
passages are phrase markings indicated to match the five parts exactly).

PROGRAM NOTES
Havana was a wind ensemble piece that I started working on in 2017, got about 30 measures into
writing, and then put on the shelf. I couldn't think of what to do with it or come up with an idea, so
I ended up just putting it aside until I could. I ended up forgetting about it and while I was
searching through my music files one night in September 2018, I stumbled on this work and found
inspiration to write on what I had. I wanted to tell a story with the piece and make it authentic and
so I spent a lot of time carefully writing the work. After messing with a few titles and feeling a good
amount of frustration, I decided to go with Havana, despite there being a viral pop song already in
existence with the same name (a song that is honestly a guilty pleasure of mine to listen to). This
piece, however, has nothing to do with the Camilla Cabello mega-hit.
Havana is a 7.5-minute work that is heavily influenced on Cuban music, rhythms, and percussion. I
wanted to highlight different dance genres such as Salsa, Mambo, and Cha-Cha, while also making
the piece in my own voice. I have a strong love for Latin music and so this was incredibly fun to
write. I sought to paint a mental picture of the city of Havana, the beautiful landscape, and the
culture that it is known and beloved for. There are many "Latin-influenced" pieces for band already
and so I wanted to make Havana stand out as one that is exciting and memorable. I hope that
performers and audiences will tap their foot, bop their heads, and feel the music.
