Written for Rachel Stern, new band director of L.C. Swain Middle School in Palm Beach County, this chorale characterizes a Bach-like sound with chromatic intervals, a harmonic minor key, and omnipresent submotives throughout the music. In my opinion, it is Bach "with flavor", as the middle section presents an unexpected transition to a new key before returning back to C minor. Composed in 4 hours, "Legato in C minor" is perfect for young, skilled tuba and euphonium players in high school or for any euphonium/tuba ensemble.
