Inspired by Hogsback South Africa

Hogsback Haven is scored for two trumpets and two flugelhorns. It was composed from inspirations I recorded when Pearl and I took her mom to Hogsback for a short get-away.

For those who don’t know, Hogsback is the small town in the mountains where J.R.R. Tolkien spent much of his childhood. Tolkien said that his childhood in Hogsback was part of what inspired the imagery in his Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books.

When I travel, I record all of my musical inspirations on manuscript paper to be used in compositions at a later date. The inspirations for this rhapsody were written down while we were in Hogback, but I only wrote the piece about six months later. That’s how many of my compositions are written. It’s sort of like an artist taking a photo, then working with that, later, to create his painting.
