Featuring the music of Sy Brandon

Sonata (1981) - This three movement sonata was dedicated to Harvey Phillips. The first movement has a rhythmic opening theme followed by a shorter lyrical idea. The development works both thematic ideas, greatly expanding each. The second movement is very song-like. The last movement combines a rondo form in 6/8 with a passacaglia in 3/4. It is recorded by Rommel Cordova, tuba and John Schmidt, piano on the CD Reflection Duration 13:00 Grade 4. This work is published by Tuba-Euphonium Press.
