Fanfare for Nowhere

Paul MIetz Egli

Today's prompt: "Short notes only. Keep everything choppy." I could have done this in Ableton with plucks and arps and gates, but I thought it would be a fun challenge to try writing in notation. I chose a brass ensemble preset in Dorico and started with a moving bassline for the tuba. The trumpets wanted to play "ta-ta-tah ta-ta-tah" over that, so who am I to get in their way?

Composed in Dorico 6.1
