Music For Brass
Music From the Motion Picture “2 Days in August”
Orchestration: 4 Tpts, 4 Hns, 3 Trbn Euph Tuba
This lighthearted, uplifting piece for Brass Ensemble (4 Trumpets, 4 Horns, 3 Trombones, Euph and Tuba), was written for my friend's annual summer get together of brass-playing friends. The tunes and themes reflect the joyousness of a summer music session. It was composed over the course of 2 Days in August so I gave it that name. Then I decided that putting the words Music From the Motion Picture in front of the title would make it sound better! Don't search too hard for the movie though!

During the pandemic lockdown, I couldn’t find a good arrangement of Back to the Future for brass and so I made my own. Free!
Arrangment: Sleep by Eric Whitacre

Eric Whitacre’s beautiful piece for Voices lends itself very well to a brass choir. In this setting for brass dectet I’ve tied to preserve the flavor of the original piece. Free!
