—Noah Taylor (b.1982)
The Guide was written as a commission for the Metropolitan Wind Symphony
after Taylor was named winner of the 2005 North American Student
Composer Competition held by the group. The Guide was premiered
in May of 2007 by the Metropolitan Wind Symphony at the National
Heritage Museum in Lexington, Massachusetts. The work is dedicated
to the idea of those individuals that provide direction and leadership
to others. (Source: published score)
