For Sonnet, the author chose an ABAB pattern for their octave, and an ABA pattern for their volta, which in no way deteriorates or enhances the poem.

trombone, tuba, and percussion. The first piece performed was “Rocky Point Holiday” composed by Ron Nelson. The composer used a series of high-energy overtures. The movement consists of a three-part form of fast slow fast. This piece begins with an octave writing then transitioning to an obligato pattern. If you like lively music then you would enjoy this…
