Reader question: what's the music?

I recently received a couple questions on the same topic: people asking where the bumper music I used for the videos for my (free) trading course comes from, with a few extremely flattering guesses as to who the composer was. :)

As I've said before, I was a musician before I was a trader, and also worked as a musician for a good portion of my trading career. For personal and artistic reasons (with which I shall not bore you now), I decided to leave music completely nearly a decade ago, but my formal training was as a composer. The title music for those videos is a simple little brass fanfare I wrote. My compositional style was alternately modal and dissonant, with an emphasis on counterpoint and some unique concepts I was developing about rhythm, time, and perception, but this little piece was just a simple, deliberately slightly Coplandesque fanfare. It also was the last piece I was working on (originally the introduction of a suite for brass quintet) when I decided I was done writing and hung up the proverbial quill, so it is the last piece of music I ever wrote, and just seemed like an appropriate title track when I started putting the course together.

Excuse the off topic post--I generally try to stick closer to topic here on this blog, but, of course, reserve the right to go completely off the reservation at times. Also, stay tuned as I have a set of very practical, applied posts on pattern recognition coming soon.

For now, here is  an audio file of the complete Fanfare for Brass Quintet (2005), by yours truly:
