Three Pieces in the Olden Style
by Dr. Michael Stewart
Written in three movements (fast, slow, fast), Dr. Stewart’s piece for brass quartet ( 2 trumpet, horn, and trombone) demonstrates why the 18th century style of writing is most enduring. Enjoy performing the perky fugues and the lovely slow movement. This effective piece can be programmed by student ensembles while still rewarding for the experienced professional.

Firelight
by David Uber
