Three Movements for brass trio (2015)

Instrumentation:

Trumpet, Horn, Trombone

Duration: ca. 6’ 30”

About the piece:

Three Movements explores the use of a fixed collection of pitches in each movement. The first movement has 4 pitches (Bb, Eb, Ab, D), built on quartal harmony; while the second movement has 6 pitches, with the addition of C and F. The last movement has all 12 pitches of the chromatic scale. In this piece, I also explored the different textures and timbres of the brass trio.

First performance: 

July 2017, Maccagno, Italy

Performed by:

Émilie Fortin (trumpet), Rebekah Lorenz (horn), Riley Leitch (trombone)
