Program Notes
The first three of these I had actually written as a student at CSUB, but I was so fond of the melodies that I adapted them as a larger work with the intent of sharing on Social Media much like my Quintet for Woodwinds and Marimba.
The last movement I wrote to round out the piece as whole and it does not hold back as the time signatures and tonguings border on pyrotechnical when played at tempo. It’s very exciting!
This piece has a lot of charm, lyricism, and fun for any brass ensemble. The movements are on the shorter side, so these would work really great as an opener to your program.
