Presented with so many passion-arousing, troubling challenges, eras like ours call out for fanfares to confront the moment. Fanfare for an Uncommon Time navigates unsettling harmonic terrain with a determined motive built on the substance of its surroundings. Its title pays homage to Aaron Copland’s 1942 classic, Fanfare for the Common Man.
