Music with Brass   -   back



"Dinosaur" Prelude and Fugue (2006)6:00
tuba quartet (two euphoniums, two tubas)
A majestic prelude based on symmetrical harmonies and a lively, syncopated fugue combine to evoke the grandeur of ancient life.  Suitable for musicians in highschool and college.


Kung Pao (2003) (mp3) (rm)8:00
euphonium (or trombone), pipe organ
Spicy-hot!  An assortment of funky grooves not often heard coming from these instruments.
—Available on the CD New Music from Chappell's Kitchen


Quartet for the End of Music (2004) (mp3) (rm) 7:00
bass clarinet, cello, tuba, percussionist (marimba/bass drum)
An intense piece of theatrical music, the Quartet requires the performers to be actors, singers, and instrumentalists.  Recommended as the last piece on a program, since at the conclusion, the musicians fall over as if dead.  Winner of the International Tuba-Euphonium Association's Harvey Phillips Composition Award, 2006.
