Three Movements for Brass Choir and Percussion (1983) — Frank Proto

Frank Proto is an American composer and double bassist, who is well-known for his 30-year collaboration with double bass virtuoso and composer François Rabbath, resulting in 5 different works for double bass and orchestra.
Proto wrote himself in the program notes of this work:
"The Three Movements for Brass Choir and Percussion is dedicated to the memory of Norman Dinnerstein. Norman, born in 1937, was a composer-musician friend of mine. We both lived and frequently worked together in New York City in the 1960s. After I joined the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in 1966 we lost track of each other until one day in the mid 1970s, to my complete surprise, he showed up in Cincinnati, having just been appointed Dean of the College-Conservatory of Music. He died, at the age of 45 a few months before the premiere."
