Sonata
Ritmico (2001) (Tuba and Piano) - This work was composed for John
Hardisky of Temple University. The work is in three movements
that are linked together. The first movement is an Allegretto and
is in sonata form. It is contrapuntal and syncopated. The
second movement is song-like and is in 5/4 meter. A short cadenza
links this movement with the third movement that is primarily in
6/8. It also contains syncopation and counterpoint. A cadenza
occurs about two-thirds through this movement. After the cadenza,
the work builds to an exciting climax. The work is very tonal and
uses several modes for its melodic and harmonic material.
Duration 10:00. Grade 4. This work is published by Tuba-Euphonium Press.
