Punch lives up to its name: short, muscular, and deliberately impactful. Designed as a high-octane injection of energy for a brass program, it balances rhythmic precision with bold textures.

As the "sister piece" to Fanfare for the Melancholy, Punch offers a distinct counter-narrative. Where Fanfare for the Melancholy explores the reflective, this work explores the kinetic. It has become a staple in the repertoire of US Colleges, Australian Conservatoriums, and professional orchestras seeking a contemporary work that commands immediate attention.
