This sixth and final piece in the series of 'Mosaic' works is written for solo tuba. As in the other Mosaic works (all available via Sheet Music Plus), a series of early, unrelated sketches were reworked to create this piece. Mosaic VI continues the preoccupation with arch form. It features and juxtaposes six highly contrasting ideas. The first theme explores snap rhythms as well as semitone and tone steps. The second idea is a chromatic and jaunty 6/8 scherzando, followed by a modal third theme in 2/2. A fourth theme explores rhythmic displacement, as well as fast octatonic scales, while a major key fifth idea is more conventionally song-like. The final, striding sixth theme is then followed by varied recollections of the previous themes in reverse, adhering to the arch-like structure of the work. The piece is highly accessible and is appropriate for advanced tuba players.
