In this seventh volume of Music for Brass Septet, Septura survey two of Americas greatest and most representative composers. Gershwins An American in Paris charts a visitors stroll around the French capital, absorbing the citys atmosphere and charm, whereas the synergy of classical form and jazz animates Gershwins unique Preludes. Coplands Quiet City depicts a contrasting and more understated cityscape, while the suite from the ballet Appalachian Spring displays Septuras luminous virtuosity.
