Stacy Garrop describes her piece Helios, “In Greek mythology, Helios was the god of the sun.His head wreathed in light, he daily drove a chariot drawn by four horses across the sky.At the end of each day’s journey, he slept in a golden boat that carried him on the Okeanos River back to his rising place.The cyclic journey of Helios is depicted in this short work for brass quintet.The first half is faced-paced and very energetic, while the second half is slow and serene, representing day and night.” Gaudete Brass Quintet
