“On the Green (Denny’s Laendler)” for Brass Quartet (Trumpet, Trombone, Euphonium, and Tuba) by Sarah Houle, 2023.
Imagine a pleasant day “on the green”: perfect weather, blue skies with puffy white clouds, rolling along easily from one hole to the next in a little canopied golf cart. Lush green dotted with stately old oaks and surrounded by a beautiful state park is the scenery for this idyllic little laendler style piece.
Characteristic of the heavy German influence of the area of inspiration, this piece has that old-time music feel as it lilts through each section. For a little interest, some of the phrases feature extensions, which diverge from the typical old-time music format of 8 measures. Fancy ornamentation accentuates some of the passages, creating slightly more robust moments.
Enjoy “On the Green (Denny’s Laendler)”!
