Smoke Screen is a fanfare for winds and percussion that would fit best opening or closing a concert program. Recurring, contrary-motion woodwind flourishes combined with shimmering percussive textures create a haze in and around aggressive brass lines that soar across the ensemble. A driving bass line and ride cymbal pave the way for an almost noir-like action sequence in the middle section of the work, which upon its resolution, recapitulates a percussion ensemble transition and the final fulfilling build of the piece.
