Composer's Notes  
Artemis was the Greek goddess of the hunt. This work draws upon the tradition of music written to evoke the chase, replete with both fanfare-like figures and fast galloping rhythms.

Artemis for Brass Quintet was commissioned by Chamber Music America with funds provided by the Pew Charitable Trust. It is dedicated to the members of The Brass Ring who gave the premiere performance at the 1989 Chamber Music America conference in New York City.
