It seemed only fitting to use the phrase \"hit the bricks\". The phrase has evolved since its origin and has multiple interpretations. Originally, it was meant to leave abruptly. But it has also evolved to mean to go find a job or to protest. Two things that people have had to do during 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is also an homage to the city of Marietta, Georgia. For example, every year on July fourth a replica of the Liberty Bell found in Marietta Square is rung thirteen times to represent the original thirteen colonies. Towards the end of the piece, the horn sounds concert F thirteen times in a row. Marietta also has ties to the railroad, that is reflected in the flute, clarinet, and horn grouping together to mimic the train horn using straight tone and lip bends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work was awarded the 2021 National Flute Association’s Newly Published Music Finalist in the Woodwind Quintet Category.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spotted Rocket","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46969852428582,"sku":"SR072","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/50000000000SR072.jpg?v=1697527812","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/chamberlain-n-hit-the-bricks","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
