Program Notes

The initial eerie flute solo is joined by other members of the woodwind family, then the full ensemble, and the piece takes off! The energetic section builds to a frenzy interrupted with bright bursts of sound. The beautiful melody returns again in the trumpet, then low brass, building to a dynamic close.
