Description
This piece was published in New Music for Woodwinds, Volume I, a set of pieces intended to display the wind instruments singly and in groups. The music is pitch-centric, with lyrical outer sections framing a more angular, jaunty central section. Although the music is only moderately challenging, the range does extend to Db5.
