Ekphrastic Dances

Description

Trumpet in Bb 1, Trumpet in Bb 2, Horn in F, Trombone, Tuba — Ekphrastic – a work of art produced as a rhetorical exercise…a vivid, often dramatic, verbal description of a visual work of art, either real or imagined. Isaac Smith has created four bright descriptive miniatures for brass quintet, vivid and often dramatic. Four movements are: I. Dynamism of a Dancer, II. Dali's Dance, III. Umbrella Blues, IV. Broadway Boogie-Woogie. A challenging and rewarding work for an advanced quintet.
