Abstract

This paper presents an original musical composition, in a contemporary style, written specifically for the modern brass ensemble. In addition to its purely aesthetic value, the piece may serve as an educational tool, to be used in developing the brass ensemble at the high school and college levels.

The covering paper includes a history of the family of brass instruments and an analysis of the composition. Research supports the argument that the bass ensemble is a viable, musical medium.
