Basalt March

Listen to a sample of this music

BASALT (Basalto)

A Traditional Style March with a light melody on the first strain, followed by a Double Forte featuring the lower brass. The trio relies on the woodwinds to carry the theme. The trumpets join in with a counter line on the trio repeat. That same counter line is repeated by the lower brass on the final strain.

Basalt is also the principal volcanic rock in many oceanic islands including the island of S. Miguel Acores Portugal.

A small and humble tribute to this island in the middle of the Atlantic. That I called home until the age of 10.
