Product Description

Solitario Dale Vail
Instrumentation: Brass Band Cornet Section, Flugelhorn, and Percussion

Solitario, meaning lonely, is a distinctive work spotlighting the Brass Band cornet section alongside a flugelhorn and percussionist. The title reflects the unique absence of the full band, focusing instead on the intimate and expressive potential of this smaller ensemble.

The piece opens with a haunting, atmospheric soprano cornet cadenza that sets a contemplative tone. A broken chord introduces the main material, which navigates the intriguing interplay between modern chamber music sensibilities and traditional brass band conventions. The work builds through idiomatic cornet runs to a powerful climax before returning to a reflective, atmospheric close.

Written to explore the full expressive range of an extended cornet section, Solitario offers individual players the chance to step into the spotlight and shine, transforming the usually collective voice into a series of personal musical statements.
