I'm a guy who used to write lots and lots of music. My lack of success became a little troubling, so now I write about Belltown and photograph squirrels. You got a problem with that?

One Day Wonder #109

For 1 horn, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones and tuba.

I wanted to give the polytonal crusade a rest for a bit and give a little attention to meter. This piece is in 9/8, but instead of the conventional 3/3/3 phrasing, I use the Southeastern European pattern of 3/2/2/2 to make things sound a little different. Form-wise, it’s pretty ordinary, but it does have nice energy and it all comes together very well.
