You Would Too (for piano, flute, viola) [Sheet Music]

You Would Too (for piano, flute, viola) [Sheet Music]Physical copy of the sheet music mailed to you. Composer: Marcus Norris Year: 2017 Instrumentation: piano, flute, viola Duration: 7 minutes About the work: I wrote You Would Too not long after the deaths of my great grandfather and his daughter, which happened within days of each other. I would not say the piece is about them, but it comes as a reaction to the experience of losing them. The title quotes a Notorious B. I. G. lyric in which he says You

and that was my stance on the confederate monuments

This piece is a hopeful celebration of the future that I believe these young musicians will go on to create

4 French Horns in F

I stayed up late watching his highlights to inspire me and keep me going

and making decisions about the type of person we’d like to be

I don’t have it in me

people tell you that you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up
