The music in this work tries to suggest a state of mind after reading each text. I was very interested to reveal on one hand, expressive lines and subtlety, and on the other, the heavy sound the brass quintet provides. This contrast is highlighted between bleak and dramatic moments, and more casual and ironic ones.

Mozart's Divertimento No 12 in E-flat K. 252 was written in 1776 for a wind quintet of 2 oboes, horn and two bassoons. In keeping with other Divertimenti, the style is light and casual. The movements are: 1. Andante cantabile, leggiero 2. Menuetto 3. Polonaise 4. Presto Stephen Gamble has done a brilliant job of arranging this work for brass quintet in the key of C. It is a joy to perform and to listen to. The music is about 12 minutes in length and is appropriate for advanced performers. Instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in C (B-flat parts supplied also), Horn, Trombone and Tuba.

This work was conceived as a bit of pure musical humor. At times, whimsical, often tongue-in-cheek satire, it provides the brass group with an opportunity to recapture the unencumbered delights of youth. Herbert Rothgarber.
