A blues-tinged tuba cadenza opens 'Salt of the Earth' before moving into a Bulgarian-like folk theme, which alternates with a heavier funk feel. The two multiphonics that frame the movement are inspired by a cadenza that the late great saxophonist Michael Brecker played on the album 'Some Skunk Funk'. The slower second movement is gospel-influenced, the seven-bar melody being passed around different soloists whilst the solo tuba weaves in and out of the melody in an almost improvisatory way. The third and final movement of 'Salt of the Earth' is an explosion of big band latin-jazz, led from the front by the solo tuba!
