Scored for 2 Bb trumpets and 2 trombones, this sequel to the First Suite for Brass Quartet is a full grade easier and about a minute shorter, but still involves some intricate rhythmic interplay and very ambiguous tonal centers. At grade 4+, this work is within the abilities of reasonably advanced high school musicians, but would be a stretch for most middle schoolers. Duration 5:50

Second Suite for Brass Quartet

Brass Quartet

Format

Fire Dance has 3 sections, following an A-B-A or simple ternary form: 
1. Furious   2. Contemplative   3. Tempo I

The title of this composition might encourage the listener to conjure up visions of a primitive tribal fire ritual, or possibly an entertaining dance performance with fiery hoops and batons. Both are valid reactions and neither of these interpretations would expect a specific program in the music.  But an environmental theme can be discerned in the composition by interpreting the opening section as depicting a "furious" wildfire, while the quiet middle section "contemplates" the scene of devastation left behind in the fire's wake with idyllic memories of what it was like before the fire. The final section would recall the fire's fury and serve as a warning for the future if something isn't done to combat wildfire-causing climate change.

Grade 6 - Duration 5:00

A barcarolle was originally a traditional Venetian gondolier song, usually in gentle 6/8 meter (think "Santa Lucia"). The name has also long been used in classical music for other compositions in that style. Of a great many barcarolles in the literature, the best-known is probably the duet "Belle nuit, o nuit d'amour " from Jacques Offenbach's final opera "Les Contes d'Hoffman." This is a reasonably faithful arrangement for intermediate string orchestra of that famous melody.  Level M - Duration 2:00

Symphonic Suite is a six-movement composition with a unifying motif that appears in each movement and supplies much of the thematic content that is developed throughout the entire suite. While the 2nd movement conjures up some Bartokian night music, the composition's primary inspiration was Persichett Symphony for Band, and although cast in a very different form, a couple of obvious homages to that work can be noticed in this one. The six movements are 1. Fanfare 2. Nocturne 3. Humoresque 4. Elegy 5. Intermezzo 6. Finale. Grade - 5  Duration 14:00.
