Commissioning a work can be one of the most artistically enriching experiences for your school, community, or organization. While music is often commissioned for a specific purpose or event (anniversary, dedication, memorial), many groups commission a work for the purpose of engaging students in the creation of something new.
With over 30 years of teaching, conducting, and composing experience, Tim is familiar with the playing capabilities of band musicians. As a result, his works possess an accessibility that leads to successful performances, as well as widespread appeal.
An exclusive composer and arranger, Tim submits all works to FJH for publication. Commissioned works accepted for publication proudly display a dedication on the title page of the conductor score.

"...Perhaps more impressive than the piece itself was Timothy Loest's willingness to communicate with us about the literature he wrote. The students received their first taste of a "living" composer. Our compliments go out to both the composer and work in giving our beginning students a very worthwhile experience with the composing process and a very fun performance."
