This exciting work for brass ensemble is passionate, lyrical and full of surprises.

Scored for 4 trumpets, 4 french horns, two tenor trombones, bass trombone, euphonium and tuba, "Devil's Dozen" was written for my friend, trumpet player, teacher, conductor, pianist, composer Richard Titone.

The original name of this piece was "Duodectet." With the request for a euphonium, the name had to change... (I like the new name better, anyway.😊)
