Ekphrastic Dances (Trumpet 1 in Bb, Trumpet 2 in Bb, Horn in F, Trombone, Tuba) Ekphrastic – a work of art produced as a rhetorical exercise…a vivid, often dramatic, verbal description of a visual work of art, either real or imagined. Isaac Smith has created four bright descriptive miniatures for brass quintet, vivid and often dramatic. Four movements are: I. Dynamism of a Dancer, II. Dalis Dance, III. Umbrella Blues, IV. Broadway Boogie-Woogie. A challenging and rewarding work for an advanced quintet.
