Tubas of the Apocalypse
(2011)
tuba quartet
Duration: 4:30
Commissioned by Winston Morris for the 45th Anniversary of the Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble. Relentlessly intense, multi-meter rhythms, and apocalyptic mayhem make up this exciting, audience-friendly quartet. The title was chosen both to reflect the war-like nature of the music, as well as a nod to the controversy surrounding the end of the Mayan calendar the following year. Publisher: Cimarron Music |
