Solo horn

SKU: P2.70019

Composed by Michael Kibbe. Solo music. Published by Potenza Music (P2.70019).

These five variations are on an original tune of two contrasting parts. The work was composed for a horn player friend, Alan Grant, who performed the premiere. It is quite a challenging piece, I have been told!

Flute, horn and bassoon

SKU: P2.10019

Composed by Michael Kibbe. Chamber music, 20th century. Published by Potenza Music (P2.10019).

Michael Kibbe writes, This work was sketched during August of 1988 and was completed during a vacation trip to Arizona in January of 1989. It is one of several works written for some of the less common combinations of wind instruments. The style is straightforward and melodic, and is generally pastoral in character, rising occasionally to dramatic points of harmonic tension and complexity, but maintaining an overall sense of lyric playfulness..

Brass quintet

SKU: P2.60039

Composed by Michael Kibbe. Chamber music. Published by Potenza Music (P2.60039).

The Quintet No. 1 for brass instruments was composed in 1975 when I was teaching at a university, though it was not premiered until many years later. The piece is the first of several for brass instruments. It is in three contrasting movements of a neo-Classical style, similar to the works of Hindemith.

Brass octet

SKU: P2.60040

Composed by Michael Kibbe. Chamber music. Published by Potenza Music (P2.60040).

A brisk allegro opens this work for eight brass instruments. Plenty of tuneful activity is provided for all players. A slow second movement calls for some muting of the instruments, lending a softer more subdued color. The final movement opens with a slow introduction followed by a rapidly moving main section, into which are introduced two original tunes in the style of sea shanties. By the end of the piece these two tunes have combined, bringing the work to a lively conclusion.

Trumpet trio

SKU: P2.60029

Composed by Michael Kibbe. Chamber music. Published by Potenza Music (P2.60029).

Surely an unusual combination, three trumpets. Especially for a fully conceived multi-movement piece. A fanfare sets the tone of the first movement, which is followed by contrasting lyrical passages. The slow second movement uses the muted tones of the trumpets providing a veiled, mysterious quality to the sound. A rollicking romp brings the piece to a brilliant conclusion.
