About
The original version of this short work was written at the same time as the Quartet for Brass, and at the request of the same performer - Michael Martin, a student at New Plymouth Boys High School.
Originally scored for baritone horn and trombone, this version for trumpet and trombone was made in 2014. Apart from a few minor revisions, the only significant change was the addition of the cadenza for the trumpet towards the end. This is a single movement work, rhapsodic in nature, with considerable use of imitation between the two brass instruments, and much use of repetitive accompaniment ideas in the piano.
