BRASS MINIATURES (score & parts)

Brass Miniatures for brass quintet by Howard J. Buss is in 4 short movements inspired by light and images reflected on polished brass: On the Edge, Refractions, Facets, and Illuminated Reflections.

The final movement was rewritten to include elements of the original score, but updated to be closer to the composer''s current musical language. While On the Edge, Refractions, and Facets, have a decided edginess to them Illuminated Reflections is more consonant and lyrical. It includes subtle references to material in the previous movements as well a buffed rendit
