RAVE REVIEWS!

Douglas Hedwig: "A Certain Slant of Light"

…a powerful and dramatic work that makes full use of the colors available for brass quintet, percussion, and organ.

This tour-de-force for brass quintet is an outstanding addition to the brass quintet repertoire. All audiences will be moved by the formidable nature, as well as the interesting programmatic ties.

…an impressive work in many ways, and it’s clear that he knows how to write for brass very effectively.

It’s the type of piece that is rewarding for both the players and the audience.
