Question

Anthony DiLorenzo composed Chimera for an all-female one of these ensembles named Seraph and an orchestra or concert band. The “American” one of these ensembles hosts a yearly training seminar at the Aspen Music Festival. A civil engineering professor wrote an early set of four pieces for this ensemble, whose first original repertoire also includes 12 pieces by Jean-François Bellon. Chuck Daellenbach is the only founding member left in one of these (15[1])ensembles that was the first (15[1])group of Western musicians to perform in China after the Cultural Revolution. Robert (*) Nagel pioneered this ensemble’s modern format in New York. One of these ensembles that plays in suits and white sneakers performs comedic arrangements such as (-5[1])“Flight of the Tuba Bee” (10[1])and was founded in Toronto. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, cornets or flugelhorns (10[1])may replace the highest-pitched instruments in what chamber ensembles that include one named “Canadian?” ■END■ (10[1]0[4])

ANSWER: brass quintets [prompt on brass ensembles] (Ironically, the ABQ’s brass quintet seminar at Aspen is on sabbatical for 2023; the civil engineering professor is Victor Ewaldl; the Canadian Brass were the first Western musicians to perform in China following the Cultural Revolution.)
