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 #27

For 2 horns, 1 trumpet, 2 trombones and tuba.

I wanted this to be a minuet in the classical sense in both form and style. Unfortunately, there are some things that brass ensembles cannot do – that being (news flash!) sounding like a classical orchestra – so I cut my losses and wrote whatever the hell I wanted. It ends up sounding like a lilting waltz-like creature with occasional harmonic surprises thrown in to muck up its agreeable nature. I like it fine anyway. I'll put it another way: it could have been a lot worse.
