Composed by Jacob A. Barton. 20th Century,Chamber,Classical. 48 pages. Jacob A. Barton #805135. Published by Jacob A. Barton (A0.1206972).Impromptu is a wind sextet written for the advanced high-school level. The trumpet part is slightly easier than the woodwind parts, save for the rapid mute changes.
In compound quadruple meter (12/8) throughout, Impromptu features some rhythmically challenging figures, including 2:3 and 3:4 polyrhythms.
Tonally and formally speaking, the piece is in concert E natural minor, with a B section in the relative G major, returning to E minor for a development section, a sort of jazz-harmony coda, and a piercing fortississimo unresolved tutti minor 9 chord to finish.
Impromptu has not been performed since its premiere in 2000. If you are interested in organizing a performance, please contact the composer!
