low brass

Eventually, though, Noseda dissipated that shroud of glistening sweetness, inviting the low brass and percussion to emerge in full force.

In addition to playing the euphonium, a low brass instrument, Kumiko counsels the freshmen and encourages everyone.

Crisp, raucous low brass introduced Prokofiev’s Sixth Symphony, given a competent reading by Hersh and the orchestra.

Heavily amplified, almost cartoonish stomping, heavy on low brass, gives way to coolly rending lyricism, like a Baroque lament by John Dowland, thinly frosted by violins playing in their highest register.

Kudos to the NSO’s low brass, who handled the difficult Adagio with aplomb.
