Passacaglia Brass Quintet - Sheet Music

Brass quintet

SKU: P2.60019

Composed by Jack Adler-McKean. Chamber music, 20th century. Published by Potenza Music (P2.60019).

Passacaglia is a work for brass quintet that tackles a style of composition rarely explored in brass chamber music repertoire. An ostinato subject is provided initially by the trombone, creating a quasi-minimalist chant-like atmosphere, as other motifs gradually evolve and emerge before disappearing back into the homophonic texture. A central trumpet duet suggests a new direction, yet hints of the original theme never fully subside. Another duet provides even greater agitation, but again fails to materialize as the theme gradually fades into the distance.
