Product Overview
Jones's Suite "The Roadrunner" for 5 Brass was completed in 1988 and was written for the Annapolis Brass Quintet, the first full-time professional brass quintet in the United States. The roadrunner of the title has nothing to do with the avian archnemesis of Wile E. Coyote of cartoon fame. Mary Ann Jones, the composer's wife, was working as a salesperson for one of the television broadcast companies in the 1980s. Her duties kept her travelling a lot, and so Jones called her The Roadrunner, for the time spent on the road. The Suite was written for the Annapolis Brass Quintet but is dedicated to Mary Ann.
Photocopies of the holograph score and parts of Suite "The Roadrunner" for 5 Brass are part of the Annapolis Brass Quintet Collection in the Library of the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music.
