A Thousand Tongues
$14.00
A brass choir scored for three trumpets, horn, two trombones, baritone and tuba. It begins with a growing fanfare with melodic material in the trumpets. The next section has the melody in the low brass where it breaks into a obbligato-like soli in the trumpets. After a modulation the tune is now presented in the middle brass with fanfare-like obbligato in the trumpet where it leads into yet another modulation and alla “in a distance” a march like atmosphere it is established where modified melodic material is presented in the trumpets. This continues until an elevating modulation breaks into a grand finale giving over to the fanfare motives of the beginning and a resounding statement.
