<\/p>\n
Hear this!<\/p>\n
An Upper and a Lower<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The upper layer has room for two trumpets<\/p>\n
They call out in long phrases, abruptly cut short.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The lower layer has horn and trombone wrestling with a tuba<\/p>\n
The expression is raw and messy, the instruments just have to stick to it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s short, powerful and possibly beautiful.<\/p>\n
A challenge:<\/p>\n
Hear this!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Composed for Stockholm Chamber Brass<\/p>\n
Commissioned by Musik G\u00e4vleborg for the brass festival Signal<\/p>\n
in September 2010<\/p>\n
