New Piece - Brass Quintet and Some Revisions and Arrangements

I've finished my new brass quintet and am proofing the score and parts. It's a piece that's a little bit like my 4th string quartet arrangement for sax quartet, Spirale d'Arco in its breadth and generous emotional spaciousness. I play on strange phasing rhythms like I did in that piece too.

The piece for flute and vibraphone I wrote for Due East has undergone a few revisions, some at their suggestion. In particular, the ending is now a huge virtuoso splash! They've played it twice now, I'm hoping for another performance this year.

Valley Spirit and Wind Master for Flute and Vibraphone - Synthesized Realization

I've arranged my piece Irae for Violin, Viola and Contrabass for the same grouping but with clarinet instead of viola at the request of conductor/violinist Alexey Kurkdijan who works out of São Paulo. I've made a new realization and the new score and parts are available too. I really like it; it seems much more disturbed and bizarre than the original arrangement. Rehearsals have started and the premiere of this arrangement should be July 26th in São Paulo!

I'm now working on a new big piece for Alexey in the form of a septet comprised of flute, oboe, clarinet, piano, violin, cello, and contrabass. It's going to be massive!
