Togetherness for flute and piano is a gentle and reflective work.  It is just under four minutes in duration
  and is in the key of F major.  An
  arpeggiated motif is used throughout the flute part.  In contrast, the piano part makes use of
  more sustained chords and a syncopated rhythm.  See also Capriole for flute and piano and
  Pax for piano by Scott Ostrander/Ostrander Music.

Togetherness

Flute Solo

Pax is a gentle and introspective work for solo piano.  In the key of G and 4/4 meter, it uses
  syncopation and a simple melody throughout. 
  The main syncopated rhythm, used in both the treble and bass parts,
  uses suspended chords that add a carefree feeling.  Duration: Approx. 3 minutes and 30
  seconds.  See also Prima Luce for piano
  by Scott Ostrander/Ostrander Music.

Piano Solo

Quintet No. 3 for brass quintet begins in C minor with a fast and tense
  melody.  Throughout the piece, the
  initial melody is contrasted with a slower and solemn tune.  The music moves later to G minor and
  finally A minor.  The meter is 2/4
  throughout and pulses steadily at a fast rate right on to the end. Chromatic
  alterations and dynamic contrast play a key role in bringing this work to life.
  For 2 B-flat trumpets, F horn, trombone, and tuba.  Duration: Approx. 3 minutes, 45 seconds.

Quintet No. 3

Brass Quintet

Ballad and Dance for brass quintet is built with two contrasting sections.  The ballad bookends the piece, beginning with a plaintive melody on muted trumpet.  The melody is stated again in a different key more fully before leading up to the dance section.  A faster tempo and engaging rhythm drive the dance section.  It ebbs and flows with the melody employed across multiple parts.  There are a few moments of repose where the dance relaxes somewhat.  After some more key changes, the dance ends and the ballad returns with a final statement.  For 2 B-flat trumpets, F horn, trombone, and tuba.  Duration: Approx. 6 minutes, 15 seconds.

Ballad and Dance

Quintet No. 2 for brass quintet is pensive and melancholy, yet ends with
  resolve.  All five parts take the
  melody throughout.  The slower tempo
  and independent phrases require good breath control from the performers.  The piece begins in E-flat major and at
  measure 27 modulates to B-flat.  The
  meter is 4/4 throughout except for a few 3/4 bars in the latter section.  This work will contrast well with a fast
  and dramatic piece in a concert setting.
    
    
    
    For 2 B-flat trumpets, F horn, trombone, and tuba.  Duration: Approx. 4 minutes

This one-movement work for brass quintet is somewhat restless and
  contemplative but ultimately uplifting.

  role that characterizes a unique and dramatic brass sound.  Each part requires control and independence
  from the performer to navigate exposed sections, mixed meter, and dynamic
  contrast.

Prima Luce literally translates to "at first light" from
  Latin.  This single-movement work is in
  the style of a nocturne and features a songlike melody supported by an
  arpeggiated accompaniment.  John Field

  it.  The initial melodic statement is
  simple yet becomes more ornamental later on. 
  Overall this piece evokes a sense of relaxation and gentleness.

  name.  Lyrical and peaceful in nature,

  sections.  Overall the music is
  comforting, hopeful, and uplifting. 
  Duration approx. 4 minutes and 25 seconds.  See also Hymns: Series One by Scott

<p>Immixtus Motifs is a showpiece for the advanced trumpeter. Although not the most challenging work in the solo trumpet literature, this composition has multiple technical demands. The style is similar to a fantasia or fantasy and is more improvisatory in nature. It features several contrasting motifs next to one another, yet does not follow a strict musical form. This work is an excellent recital piece for trumpeters to develop range, dynamic control, endurance and more. For B-flat trumpet. Duration: Approx. 4 minutes, 45 seconds.
