2 Trumpets/Horn/Trombone/Tuba

It is written for traditional brass quintet with Trumpets in B-flat for advanced performers and is about 15 minutes in length.

The music is very expressive and tonal. Below is a brief description of the work by the composer, Elizabeth Raum.

This piece is very much based on various musical forms. The Prelude has opened many a musical work from Baroque to the present. Then follows Scherzo and Blues, a light hearted bonbon moving into a lazy blues. Next is pure Baroque starting with a Passacaglia followed by a Fugue based on the Passacaglia progression. And finally finishing up with the Rondo, in a major key, light-hearted, canonic in places, with a feeling of the evolution of musical form.
