Description:
The Passacaglia was a first composition for brass for a young Bernofsky; and an early glimpse of the composer's talent. Dedicated to trombonist Brian Diehl; the opening features; appropriately; a solo trombone in a quiet statement of the theme. Joined by one instrument after another; the ensemble develops a layered exploration to crescendo before the denouement. So captivating was the Passacaglia; that Bernofsky was asked to create versions also for trombone ensemble and for larger brass ensemble. Listen to a performance by the Indiana University Brass Choir at Bernofsky's website.
