―John Cheetham
(b. 1939)
Concertino was commissioned by the faculty brass quintet at Indiana
University of Pennsylvania in 2000. Classic sonata form provides the
structural format for the first movement, which opens with a fanfarelike
motive. The second movement is a slow five-part rondo. This short
movement leads without pause to the final movement of the work, a
boisterous rondo in 6/8 time. (Source: published score)
