So yeah. I'm posting some more music. This one is a 'suite' for brass and percussion. The thing that got me started was the news theme for the local news station here in Newfoundland. So I used a teensy three note motive to keep these three movements related. Becuase you'll be able to tell that they're extremely unrelated without knowing it. I've been working on this since around July or August.
I certainly wouldn't call this a suite, but it has three movements:
1. Overture. Hopefully it sounds like a good beginning. The trumpet solo there introduces the motive that keeps everything running nicely.
2. Frontier. I think it sounds spacey, and it's the reason I chose this name for the 'suite'. The celeste here is probably impossible to play. I may fix this later on in my life. This is by far my favourite movement out of the three.
3. Finale. Here, I mix a lot of elements from the first two, and bunch it together in a bundle of snacky happiness. You'll get to hear main parts from the themes of each movement put together in one at the end, which I think isn't nearly as satisfying as it should be.
Enjoy!
(To anyone who is using the NWC files, the parts are not transposed. They are written in concert pitch)
