BUSS Howard J.

Time Capsule (Buss is an entertaining sonatina in 4 movements: Daybreak, Chorale, Rendezvous, and Homeward Bound and is both fun to play and listen to. Daybreak has a frolicking and optimistic character. Chorale breaks with the traditional structure of the chorale in that each phrase gets a measure longer. The harmonies of the second movement contain some spicy dissonances as well. Rendezvous, is in a lilting 6/8 and really 'works up a lather' as it progresses to an exciting climax. Homeward Bound, begins with a fanfare-like passage that gives way to a spirited dance with an intriguing interplay between the 2 instruments.)
