Publisher Desc.  "Dialogue (for Brass Septet)" is an up-tempo, jazz-based work from American composer P. F. Strohm, arranged with tubist David Swanson for his group, Zen Brass.iThis setting of the work is scored for brass septet with three trumpet, three trombones (2 Ten, 1 Bass), and tuba. It employs classic big band concepts to create straight-ahead, ensemble energy. The parts trade off melodic and rhythmic figures throughout the opening. In the mid-section, the three trumpets trade solo lines, then combine in a riveting climax. The upper and lower voices then trade tight, challenging phrases as the piece rockets to a big tutti ending. "Dialogue" is an exciting work for ensembles looking for more modern and demanding parts. Medium-Advanced level of difficulty. Performance time is 4:00. Member, ASCAP.
