Six Movements for Brass Quintet

2 trumpets, horn, trombone, tuba

This work was commissioned in early 2015 by the Estrella Brass Quintet. As indicated by the title, it is in six sweeping movements which explores the timbral possibilities of the ensemble. The work, and especially the final chorale-chaccone, is dedicated to the memory of my father, composer William Thomas McKinley, who passed away on February 3, 2015.
