First played this composition in 1971... as introduced to us by Don McComas, Asst Principal (Phila Orchestra) ---- a work that had been composed just a mere 10 years earlier. I immediately liked it because it was technically challenging, rousing, and melodic in its own way, having no idea it was relatively new. Arnold had an uncanny way of not only developing the sound of each instrument, but also blending them together in order to showcase the full depth of the brass quintet. Even the tuba has an excellent part with its own set of challenges. My favorite movement is the 3rd, Con Brio -- giving EVERY member the opportunity for their own solo part(s) throughout. BRAVO to Malcolm for such an excellent composition !!!

As a trumpeter, I can count to 4 on a good day. It’s a stretch after that
