MUSIC FOR BRASS

– COMMISSIONED by Haddonfield (NJ) Symphony to commemorate Music Director Arthur Cohn’s retirement, and the installation of Music Director Alan Gilbert.
– REVIEW: “Dorff's dynamic and articulation intentions are very clearly marked. The piece is easily accessible to players at the college level, and is effective, festive, and interesting. It is a good-of-kind composition, with a few tricky rhythms and a practical range.”
