Rondo for Brass Ensemble and Percussion

Published for the first time in 2016, this is a mature Claude Smith work for the capable ensemble, scored for 12-part brass choir and full percussion. It displays a mastery of musical timbres and effects, including muted sounds and trumpet players doubling on cornet and flugelhorn. Flashy, engaging, and typically well crafted, it features the best of brass and percussion writing from a composer whose style is never out of season.
