Recorded by the UNT One O’Clock Lab Band on Lab 2012, From Above is a modern through-composed work which features Tenor Saxophone 1 in a climactic, emotional improvisation section. Orchestral colors include muted brass, flugelhorns, and extensive use of woodwind doubles. An emotionally engaging piece with a lot of firepower and high moments.
