Ballade and Gigue for Brass Quintet

M.S. Erickson

Erickson's work for brass quintet consisting of two short movements which use contrasting styles and techniques. The Ballade features beautiful melody lines underscored with rich romantic harmonies while the Gigue is a rollicking musical dance. The slow movement calls for legato phrasing throughout while the gigue demands light and accurate articulation along with careful attention to the rhythmic changes.... a real crowd pleaser!
