Diversions

Description

DIVERSIONS, for brass sextet, was written in memory of the composer's father - a man who had been particularly fond of music for brass instruments.  Written in three movements, this work attempts to present to the listener a series of contrasting brass moods: a mood that is energetic and straightforward (I. Prologue), one of qiuet and thoughtful reminiscence (II. Reminiscence), and a mood of rhythmic light-heartedness (III. Rondel).  Instrumentation: 2 trumpets in Bb, horn, 2 trombones, and tuba
