    Genre: Contemporary

    reduction with Rhythm section (recording is with wind ensemble)

    The Concerto for tuba and winds is in my usual Third-Stream style, but I utilized
    many new techniques for the first time in this piece. Jazz, rock, hip-hop and many kinds
    of classical styles come together in the Concerto. Polymeter, improvisation and intuitive
    swing notation play important roles in this piece as well as traditional four-part
    counterpoint and ancient Greek form. It is simply titled Concerto in a classical fashion
    but each movement has a more descriptive title.
    I. Swing Low
    II. Adagio
    III. Cutting Contest

    I utilized a customized variation on the classical concerto form: a sonata-allegro
    first movement, a slow second movement and a theme and variations finale.
    Philosophically, this piece explores the traditional nature of a concerto from several
    different angles. The first movement explores the cooperative side of a concerto. One
    Latin root of the word concerto is conserere, which means to join. The soloist and wind
    ensemble cooperate to produce many layers of polymeter in Swing Low. The Latin root
    certamen, on the other hand, means to fight. So while the first movement is a
    cooperative effort, the third movement, Cutting Contest, explores the idea of a musical
    battle between the solo tuba and the wind ensemble on a familiar tune.

    On March 6th, 2012, the Concerto was premiered in Seattle. Erin Bodnar led the
    University of Washington Wind Ensemble with myself soloing. The Central Washington
    University Wind Ensemble then recorded it with Dean Snavely conducting.

    This reduction of Concerto features two different versions of the third movement
    to allow for players to navigate the virtuosic fingering acrobatics on an E-Flat or F tuba.
    The solo lines at letter E were inspired by Arban’s Carnival of Venice.

  5. Concerto No. 1

    Composer: Lester, Ian
    Instrumentation: Solo and Piano Instruments: Drum Set, Piano, Tuba
    Genre: Ceremonial
    Concerto for Tuba No. 1 for Tuba, Drum Set, and Piano was written for Thomas Stein, professor of tuba and euphonium at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Each of the four movements is given a one-word title which sets the tone for the corresponding movement: Flowing, Dance, Smoke, and Festivities. The first movement sways between several themes including the main “flowing” material and a heavier, eighth note motive that morphs into a buoyant, jazzy groove. The second movement conveys a light-hearted dance, yet there is a stern, ominous undertone always lurking in the shadows. The third movement brings the listener to the 1920s with the performers creating a smooth atmosphere in an era full of intrigue and mystery. The final movement is a non-stop, chaotic ride that gains momentum through groovy syncopations and off-kilter beats. The tubist brings the piece to a rapid-fire close with a head-banging cadenza and the return of the original thematic material. Learn More

  7. Drift

    Composer: Friedland, Zach
    Instrumentation: Quintet Instruments: Alto Sax, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, Clarinet, Oboe
    Genre: Contemporary

    Oboe, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Bass Clarinet and Bassoon

    Drift was written for the TIMBER Reed Quintet at the Ohio State University. Upon attending rehearsals and listening to the dynamic of the group, I was fascinated with the way the five instruments blended their sound together and the vast array of timbres that could emerge from the various combinations. This sparked my vision to create a piece that would highlight these abilities. Drift makes use of rhythmic ambiguity and uses a Jazz influence to create a musical idea of drifting along.
