Listen: Equal Dances: Aria II

Equale Dances for brass quintet (which is really my Second Quintet for Brass) was commissioned by Equale Brass, with funds provided by the Arts Council of Great Britain, and was first performed by them in 1983. The structure of the piece is similar to that of another work of the same period scored for brass band, namely Dances and Arias. It uses alternating fast (Dances) and slow music (Arias):

Toccata (a fast but majestic dance with changing time patterns).
