Canti cum Honoris Americorum, a nonet for brass, is gratefully dedicated to the American Brass Quintet. This legendary ensemble was one of the very first touring brass quintets, and the ensemble for which I wrote three of my brass quintets. Over the years, there have been several legendary players who performed with the ensemble, hence the inclusion of Past, Present, and Future in the dedication. Canticum was premiered at Julliard by the American Brass Quintet, along with four of their graduating students. Hence, a brass quintet with an additional trumpet, horn, trombone, and tuba. The work is entirely celebratory in spirit--full of life and energy; virtuosic, fanfare-like musical gestures; and a feeling of joy throughout. The American Brass Quintet has recorded Canticum Honoris Americorum on their 2017 CD Perspectives, on Summit Records. -Eric Ewazen.
