Op. 33 for Brass Quintet. Commissioned by the Three Choirs Festival 1992 and premiered by the London Gabrieli Brass Consort.This is a short piece for brass quintet in one movement. The polyphony of the introduction gives wayto massed chords which in turn lead to the first main section. This is a funeral march during which all the instruments have solos in turn. The trombone is first then trumpet I; horn; later in duet with trumpet II; finallythere is long solo for the tuba.The second section is a series of fanfares on trumpets joined by the horn which alternate with successive phrases of a chorale melody on the lower instruments - horn trombone and tuba. MitFried and Freud ich far dahin is Martin Luther’s masterly and very beautiful re-creation in German of the Nunc dimittus. The massed chords of the introduction then return and the piece ends with the polyphony with which itbegan.Parts available: SOS04782
