Brick and Mortar, a contra alto clarinet trio, showcases the contra alto clarinet's brilliance as both an accompaniment and solo instrument. The first movement begins with a rhythmically consistent theme, highlighting the power of the instrument's lower register. This is followed by a somber and intimate second movement that utilizes the contra alto clarinet's silky upper register. The third movement concludes the work with an intense rhythmic pattern that supports a melody passed among all three voices.
