Composed by Scott Ninmer
One of the composer’s most ambitious large-ensemble works, The Last Straw explores the harmonic possibilities of the augmented scale across a wide-ranging form. Soprano saxophone and flugelhorn share the spotlight in a double concerto of sorts, with featured moments for bass trombone and bass.
