Tapir Music Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Just a standard instrumentation single movement brass quintet that I was inspired with this week. Not sure what the title represents but it just kind of came to me. Criticism is fully appreciated and I'm sure needed.

Monarcheon Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Really great work! Good use of manipulating the motive in different contexts and overall flow. Couple small things I see: Couple places with awkward crossed voices. It's especially awkward with the trumpets since it's the same timbre; places like 8, 12, 52, 56, etc. Make sure your instruments are actually transposed; it says at the beginning of your score trumpet in Bb and Horn in F, but you have a concert score. That horn part is really tough; lots of quick maneuvering in some high registers. Definitely not impossible, but strangely more difficult than the rest of the parts. I don't know if you care about traditional theory, but m. 100 doesn't have a third in it; just pointing that out. m. 107 - do you want trumpet 2 to end a quarter note earlier? Just making sure. There's some stuff that would be hard to get through without breathing. It's not normally a problem but with sustained chords you should expect slight deviations in the steady stream. I felt the held trombone note at 15 distracting and not very useful. Maybe better to have it in contenance angloise with the tuba than a pedal tone. Again, good job! 1 Quote
