Score and parts

Primary Genre: Brass Ensemble - 3 brass

This is interesting program material with some mixed meters and frequent chromatic movement. Ranges: trumpet to c3, horn to g2 and trombone to a2. All parts have a bad page turn. The publisher includes the usual ‘do not copy’ direction at the bottom of each page, but therein lies the usual dilemma: buy two copies of the music or copy one page in order to perform the work. We wish the publisher would help us with this problem by laying out parts so they are playable without bad page turns! In spite of this problem, we think Wolking has arranged a nice contribution to the brass trio literature that has audience appeal and is fun to play.
