Do Pacem (To Grant Peace)

Latin is such a beautiful language, always has inspired me. I stumbled upon this little phrase-"Do Pacem" which translated to "To grant peace" I found this kinda cool, so i wrote a piece with that as its title.

The piece itself is supposed to give a sense of peace, or as I liked to envision-relaxing after a long day of work.

It is a brass ensemble work and its pretty much my experiment in tension and release. Just thought I'd post it here and see what everybody thinks...so....tell me!

Thanks!!:toothygrin:

That's really pretty. I like the way the piece "breathes".

But there are a couple notational things that bug me:

First, slurs should always go to the last note in a tied group. For example, in measures 11-14 in the 3rd Trumpet part, the slurs should go all the way to the eighth note.

Qccowboy has a nice picture showing this (QC - if you want the link removed, just ask or do it yourself ;)):

The other thing is your spelling of the final chord... You have a B as the root, but some of the other notes are spelled like they're a part of a Cb major chord. Even though they sound identical, I think you should spell them all the same way, for consistency.

Thanks quite a lot :D

Consider those notation problems fixed!
