'Flow', a study on Groove/Rhythm in terms of momentum in music. The creation of this piece came from a class entitled: Groove, Swing, and Microtiming’ and was directly inspired by articles analyzing rappers’ use of the word 'flow' in their lyrics. The use of ‘flow’ actually changed the momentum of the rapping itself. While the composition’s genre follows more in line with swing/hip-hop, the drastic change in style, altering beat emphasizes, and momentum of rhythms is the correlation between the ‘flow’ and this Brass Quintet.
