The Art of Brass: Brass Arts Quintet and Friends
Cookeville, TN ‹
 
The Brass Arts Quintet at Tennessee Tech University will present a free
concert at 7:30 PM on Monday, March 31st, 2008 in Wattenbarger Auditorium of
the Bryan Fine Arts Building, located on the Tennessee Tech campus at 1150
N. Dixie Avenue. The program will feature members of the group and special
guests in works by Greg Danner, Thomas Weelkes, Kerry Turner, Zequina de
Abreu, Walter Hartley, Scott Joplin, Ernst Pichler, Arthur Pryor and Duke
Ellington.   

The evening¹s concert will feature members of the group both in ensemble and
as soloists along with collaborations with our colleagues Phil Barham, who
will perform Hartley¹s Concertino da Camera for soprano saxophone and brass
quintet, and new TTU professor of Horn Jeremy Hansen, performing on The
Nonpareil by Scott Joplin, Musik für Bläser by Ernst Pichler and Weelkes¹
well known 6-part madrigal As Vesta Was From Latmos Hill Descending.

Tennessee Tech professor of Trombone Joshua Hauser says of the concert, ³We
are always delighted to have the opportunity to work with our colleagues on
other instruments and it is a pleasure to include both Phil and Jeremy in
this program.  Our most recent CD, ŒSerengeti¹ includes two other works that
we recorded with Phil as saxophone soloist with the quintet and we feel that
this instrumentation is a natural fit for us.  We also are proud to welcome
Jeremy to the faculty here at TTU and look forward to many more
opportunities to play works for larger brass ensembles in the future.  The
sound of the two horns on the Weelkes is a wonderful addition to our
repertoire.²
 
³This should be a fun and varied performance that everyone will enjoy. We
look forward to seeing you here.²
 
Members of the quintet are: Charles Decker and Chris McCormick, trumpets;
Greg Danner, horn; Joshua Hauser, trombone; and Winston Morris, tuba.
