Composed by James Marshall. 20th Century,Multicultural,World. Score and parts. 82 pages. James Marshall Music #6384341. Published by James Marshall Music (A0.913632).Septet for Brass is one of the earliest compositions of this composer. It echoes the sentiments of the Cold War late 1960s in its bold, brass gestures of confidence and elan.
Set in traditional three movement form, the opening Allegro heralds the return to decorum following the upheaval of the decade. The secondary theme is reminiscent of the English lyricism of Vaughn Williams. This sentiment returned to the pen of this composer in recent years in compositions commissioned by London clarinetist Alison Eales. This score originally from 1969 was edited during the Pandemic of 2020-2021. Andante is a lamenting chorale played by the Tuba laced by haunting melismas suggesting the drawn out moods in the music of Shostakovich. The final Rondo is spirited with a theme in 9/8 (3/4 + 3/8) with subsequent sections of mix meter and pulsating textures. Instrumentation is 2 Trumpets in C, 2 Horns in F, 2 Trombones and Tuba.
