Program note
Baffin Bay is part of the Arctic Ocean, between Greenland and Baffin Island. This piece for band is loosely based on a piece of the same name for laptop ensemble. Both attempt to depict the cold, forbidding, yet fascinating world of the Arctic.

About the Work
Baffin Bay is an original composition for intermediate concert band. It should appeal to conductors interested in minimalist and spacious contemporary repertoire. The piece is available exclusively as a digital download (PDF score and parts) directly from the composer’s catalog.
