From the program notes written by Clifton Jones:

Bright Shadow Fanfare (2022)
Nicole Piunno (1985- )

Bright Shadow Fanfare is a brief, exciting work by contemporary American composer Nicole Piunno. She says — "The intense contrast in Bright Shadow Fanfare refers to two possible meanings. It could mean bringing our darkness into the light in order to integrate it with our true self. It could also mean revealing our positive traits and gifts that we may not allow ourselves to show or give to others."

The work was premiered in 2022 by the Nevada All-State Band in Reno, NV.

Nicole Piunno is a young American composer who is gaining recognition. She grew up in Dublin, Ohio, and played trumpet in the high school band. She received a Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition and a Master of Music in Theory Pedagogy from Michigan State University. She studied with David Gillingham at Central Michigan University and with Ricardo Lorenz at Michigan State. Her music has been performed by the “President’s Own” US Marine Band.
