Counterposition for Brass Quintet (2021)~ 3 Minutes

Written for Brass Quintet, this piece showcases the contrasting abilities of the brass quintet. In the first section, the mood is fairly calm and serene. The melodies develop and move through the ensemble and build to a confident apex and a satisfying conclusion. The second movement is rife with doubt and insecurity. This chitter-chatter is present and intensifies throughout the piece until the dramatic ending. Counterposition uses this polarity to demonstrate versatility in the performers and give the audience a rollercoaster ride in under 4 minutes!
