"Song Without Name" was composed in 2019 for brass trio, quartet or quintet. After a slow introduction to the song, the music develops in a fast-slow-fast form, and the gentle melody is played again in coda. I composed this piece in the hope of realizing the day in spite of endless questions without answers: why we are living, where we are going. The instrumentation can be played with a minimum of Trp, Hr (or Trp / Trb / Euph), Trb (or Euph / Tuba / BsTrb) brass trio. As a quartet, you can add either "Part 2 (select from Trp / Hr)" or "Part 4 (select from Hr / Trb / Euph)" as an optional part. If you add both, you can play as brass quintet in maximum. [Instrumentation] Brass Trio: "Trp / Hr / Trb" "Trp / Trp / Trb" "Trp / Trb / Trb" "Trp / Trb / Tuba" etc. Brass Quartet: "Trp / Part 2 (Trp) / Hr / Trb" "Trp / Part 2 (Hr) / Trb / Euph" "Trp / Hr / Part 4 (Hr) / Trb" "Trp / Trp / Part 4 (Trb) / Tuba" etc. Brass Quintet: "Trp / Part 2 (Trp) / Hr / Part 4 (Trb) / Trb" "Trp / Part 2 (Hr) / Trb / Part 4 (Euph) / Tuba" etc. Performance Notes If Part 2 or Part 4 is not added, play the cue in "parentheses ( )" on the score.
