Euphonic Blues for Brass

FUGUE, WALTZ, CANON (premiere performance)

Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic, conducted by Daniel Nesta Curtis
March 5, 2014
Carnegie Music Hall
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

"Fugue, Waltz, Canon" is based on a menacing four-note theme which is stated at the beginning and seems to pervade all of the piece. But gradually, this theme is shown to be a mere façade for a more urgent theme: B-A-C-H. Bach, after all, is the reason this composer is interested in things like fugues and canons in the first place.
He prevails in the end, of course, as Bach always does. After a series of reversals, the piece concludes unambiguously affirming his name.

This piece was written for the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic as a senior thesis at Carnegie Mellon School of Music.
