Norman Wilcox has written a new work for Brass Quintet titled Mode Swings. It is in A-B-A format beginning with a lively, rhythmic melody in mixed meter which is passed around the group.

This work is written for advanced performers at about 4 1/2 minutes in length and will work very well in a recital or concert.
