Background
“Windows” is a brass quintet (2 trumpets, French horn, trombone, and bass trombone) made up of three movements (I. Glass, II. Screen, III. Air) based on three different types of windows/elements of windows. The entire work is about 15 minutes long. The inspiration of the piece stems from one of the marimba solos I was learning for graduate school at the time I composed this piece : "Reflections on the Nature of Water" by Jacob Druckman. Prior to learning the piece my professor (Ji Hye Jung) told me to listen to another piece by Jacob Druckman called "Windows." Upon hearing only the name “Windows” I instantly thought I knew what it would sound like. Druckman's "Windows" sounds nothing like what imagined it would. So, the brass quintet I've written, "Windows," is the piece that I expected Druckman's piece to be prior to listening to that piece, or any other by Jacob Druckman.

II.SCREEN
The canon ostinato in the two trumpets is a rhythmic interpretation of a screen over a window. The trombones and French horn act as insects zipping onto and around the window (particularly with the glissandi).

Trumpets – I apologize for the nastiness of this rhythm, but since I thought it sounded amazing in canon, I could not resist using it. The entire movement is to be felt in 7/8 (always felt 3-2-2). The trumpet rhythm is constructed as a 14/16 bar (5/16 + 5/16 + 4/16) but should still be felt in 7/8 with the rest of the ensemble.
Fortunately, once this canon is mastered you can essentially play the entire movement. In bars 122-129, the entire ensemble plays the rhythmic figure from trumpet 2’s ostinato.
