Rest is an English-language Requiem Mass for mixed choir and sixteen brass players. The text is translated into English by the composer from the original Latin and Greek. It comprises twelve movements, and a performance is approximately fifty-five minutes in length. The work serves as a continued exploration of composing for brass, begun in 2010. The work is constructed primarily from the tetrachordal triadic supersets--that is, tetrachords based on major and minor triads--connected through parsimonious voice-leading. Rest is my third mass in a series of works in various languages composed for various ensembles.

The influence of a liquid metal and a stress corrosion environment on the mechanical properties of α and β brasses was investigated under continuous tensile loading conditions: strain rate and grain size (α brass only) were systematic variables. Increasing strain rate or decreasing grain size was found to increase the ductility and fracture stress of the polycrystalline material in either environment. Single crystal studies revealed (1) that grain boundaries are not essential for embrittlement by either media and (2) that the surface films induced by the environment are mechanically very weak. The fractured surfaces of a brass were examined (1) for topographical features using both direct and indirect replica electron microscopy and (2) for evidence of thin films using a low angle electron diffraction technique. Crack path in both environments was invariably intergranular, and details of fractured surfaces were similar. Thin films were detected on the fractured surfaces, and the compositions determined. In general, both environments conferred the same general embrittling effects. It is possible to account for the current observations by a common cracking mechanism: the development of such a model based on the slip step displacement of a passive surface film is discussed. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Materials Engineering, Department of / Graduate
