Trilogy (for Brass and Saxophone Ensemble) is a three-section work from American composer P. F. Strohm. This setting of the work is scored for a unique 10-part ensemble, comprised of a brass quintet (two Trumpets, Horn, Trombone and Tuba), and a saxophone quintet (Soprano, Alto 2 Tenors, Baritone with low A key). The antiphonal scoring with the two quintets makes the work ideal for skilled high school or college players looking for a showcase piece. The sound of the piece is tonal, ranging from quiet contemplation to thundering assertion. It opens with a chorale-like 3/2 that lasts about four minutes, moving into a powerful three-and-a-half minute incantation, then bursts into a two-and-a-half minute dance in 7/4. Trilogy is an exciting work for contest or concert, with a Medium to Medium-Advanced level of difficulty. Total performance time is around 10:00. Member, ASCAP.
