Product Description
"Dialogue (for Brass and Saxophone Ensemble)", from American composer P. F. Strohm, is an up-tempo, jazz-based work written for a unique 10-part ensemble, comprised of a brass quintet (two Trumpets, Horn, Trombone and Tuba), and a saxophone quintet (Soprano, Alto 2 Tenors, Baritone with low A key). It employs two quintet groupings to create straight-ahead, ensemble energy. The two quintets trade off melodic and rhythmic figures throughout the opening. In the mid-section, two trumpets and the soprano sax trade solo lines, then combine in a riveting climax. The two quintets then trade tight, challenging phrases as the piece rockets to a big tutti ending. "Dialogue" is an exciting work for ensembles with players looking for more modern and demanding parts. If you already have a big band and want to give the horns their own showpiece without the rhythm players, this would be ideal (if you have the Horn and Tuba available)! Medium-Advanced level of difficulty. Performance time is 4:00. Member, ASCAP.
