For brass quintet and percussion (1 player), includes score and parts. Brilliant brass and virtuoso percussion make this an exciting recital piece to hear as well as to see. The solo percussion part is scored for xylophone, snare drum, three tom-toms and crotales. It provides the player an opportunity to demonstrate their music skills as well as their virtuosity.

Review from Percussive Notes:
This is a worthy addition to percussion literature for the advanced intermediate percussionist. The instrumentation includes a standard brass quintet plus xylophone, crotales, snare drum, and three tom-toms for the percussionist. The composer suggests using toms from a drumset instead of concert toms. The work follows an ABA format with the A sections very syncopated against a waltz-like B section. "Synapses" provides the percussionist with a wonderful opportunity to perform as an equal partner within the brass quintet.
