Fragments of Life-Moises Mendoza

I composed this piece because I wanted to get myself used to composing for large
ensembles, wind ensemble particularly. This composition took the most time and energy in
creating the biggest work I have taken on thus far. This piece allowed me to get a better insight
of my creativity as well as incorporate the lessons I have learned from my music professors. The
experience was well worth it for I now know what I am capable of in my compositions and I
look forward to working on more works in large ensembles in the future. During the time I
composed this piece, I was expecting to have it performed around April 2020. However, that was
around the time when COVID started spreading around the world and so that experience was lost
to me. I hope someday it will be performed under better days.
