Description:
This may be Mike Forbes's most expansive and challenging work for the tuba / euphonium quartet. Like Bartók's 'Concerto for Orchestra,' this composition has no accompaniment and is a tour de force for the quartet.
Drawing on extended techniques (slide removal, multiphonics), Michael Forbes creates a dramatic and colorful work that particularly highlights the virtuosity of each musician.
