(vln III/vla)

Four Plus Brass Series- for two Trumpets and two Trombones (with opt. Horn and Tuba for color). In Alla breve the trumpets begin the piece in exultation with counter-movement in the trombones passing through a maze of meter changes. The theme tends to be insolated by part, but does exchange between the voices in an imitative format. This format continues, only in a more harmonically full scoring. The second section is stronger in fabric and the voicing becomes more solid. This all leads up to a solid conclusion with a final statement of satisfaction.

Four Plus Brass Series- for two Trumpets and two Trombones (with opt. Horn and Tuba for color). Beginning with a tempo and style of vitality the introduction uses motivic repetitions until the trombones establish the tune with trumpet counterpoint. The rest of the whole first section is an exchange of thematic motives amongst the parts. With a modulation the trumpets present a little duet with the trombones adding brief flourishes. The final section again presents melodic motives passed around the various voices and then slows to a strong conclusion.
