Program Notes
Our Little Secrets was originally commissioned by the NEXT Commissioning Consortium, which aimed to provide flexible instrumentation works at various difficulty levels.
In the beginner version, instrument groupings explore simple-but-pervasive rhythms and moments of solo playing, providing an excellent introduction to larger chamber ensemble playing. In the advanced version, quirky and whimsical textures abound with jet whistles, growls and flutter tongue, trills, and head-spinning counterpoint—providing a fun and challenging piece for any wind octet.
