Another great, short piece, here's the first of Joan Tower's Fanfares celebrating risk-taking and adventurous women. This is both celebratory and substantial, plus a workout for brass and percussion.
Listening time 8 mins (podcast 5.5', music 2.5')

On Youtube you can watch the work's dedicatee, Marin Alsop conduct this alongside Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man.
And here there's a nice interview with Joan Tower - she seems like a fun person!
