Commissioned by Norwalk High School in Norwalk, IA, this piece simply sings! Beginning with a written or improvised piano introduction, “Somewhere To Go” joyfully erupts into a laid-back gospel tune with harmony that can be approached easily by alternating F major and minor pentatonic scales while still being complex enough to keep the interest of the performer and listener alike.

Dedicated to the memory of my mother.

Grade 4. Tenor 2 contains optional flute moments; Trumpet 1 up to one high D; Trombone 1 up to Ab.
