    The document provides information about a piece titled 'Fanfare for Paul' written for trombone choir and percussion by composer Austin Brake.

    The piece titled 'Fanfare for Paul' was commissioned by Rai Morales for the West Texas A&M University Trombone Choir as a concert opener with a similar sound to Brake's earlier piece 'Invisible'.

    The composer employed the theoretical system of Paul Hindemith, a composer who influenced Brake's growth, in an attempt to blend Hindemith's innovative concepts of tonality with his own personal voice.

    Program Notes
    !
    Fanfare for Paul was commissioned by Rai Morales for the West Texas A&M University Trombone Choir. Rai
    first approached me about writing a piece for the ensemble after the premiere of my brass choir piece, Invisible. He
    was greatly intrigued by [my] chord progressions and wanted a concert-opener with a similar sound.
    !
    Invisible was my first large-scale attempt to employ the theoretical system of Paul Hindemith, a composer
    who never ceases to amaze me with his craft and inventiveness. My comprehension of his process increases with
    each reading of his book, The Craft of Musical Composition. This fanfare is a personal homage to Hindemith for his
    influence on my growth as a composer. It is my hope that someday I will able to blend his innovative concepts of
    tonality with my own personal voice.
    !
    Fanfare for Paul was premiered on November 6th, 2012.
