This collaborative project brings together the music composition studio and the trumpet studio at the University of Georgia Hugh Hodgson School of Music in an exploration of melodic weaving, drawing inspiration from the new sculptural installation by artist Rachel B. Hayes on view at the Georgia Museum of Art. Just as Hayes layers fabric and color to create immersive environments, the student composers approach melody as a pliable material — stretching, overlapping and intertwining lines to form intricate sonic tapestries. Undergraduate composers Nathan Bine, Sydney Brockway, Ryan Hanling, Lyra Hodge, Timothy Jackson, Andrew Latimer, Marcus Lewis and Benji Nguyen, alongside doctoral composer Richie Arndorfer, contribute new works that highlight the trumpet’s lyrical and textural possibilities in collaboration with Dr. Emily Koh, associate professor of music composition.“Woven” emphasizes dialogue: between lines, instruments and artistic disciplines. By translating Hayes’ visual language into sound, the project invites audiences to experience melody as both linear and spatial, simultaneously intimate and expansive. Ultimately, this collaboration provides young composers with practical experience writing for brass instruments while fostering creative connections across the music department.
