Brass octet for three trumpets, horn, three trombones and tuba.
Grade 4. Approx. duration: thirteen minutes.
Set includes score and eight parts.
Composed in 2009, Verdiés “O.C.T.E.T.” for brass ensemble (three trumpets, horn, three trombones and tuba) is in five movements. The not-very-descriptive subtitle of each one (“Only…,” “Could be… (bagpipes),” “Though…,” “Even if…,” and “Then”) begins with each successive letter of the word “octet.” However, in keeping with these rather enigmatic titles, the composer has mainly chosen to not develop any specific musical idea; rather, the focus seems to be on the exploitation of the range of color and timbre that these four brass instruments are capable of producing. For example, in the third movement Verdié juxtaposes sharp, hammer-like strokes in forte in the outer and middle voices of the ensemble with Harmon muted machine gun like notes played by one trumpet and a short but soft scalar fragment played by two trombones.
