Three Canzonas for Brass Quartet (1991)
Three movements; 2 trumpets, 2 trombones; ca. 6 min.
The composer writes: My inspiration for these three short canzonas was music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, well suited to brass instruments, by such composers as Giovanni Gabrieli and Samuel Scheidt. I have imitated the structures and textures of this noble music, in the context of my own harmonic language.
Score and parts available from the Canadian Music Centre and Murphy Music Press.
