| Music for a Decent Number of
Winds (V.23) A one-movement set of variations on a ridiculously simple theme. The theme is mutated, sometimes while putting up a good fight, through various musical styles ranging from baroque to jazz, impressionism to medieval court dances, and wackiness ensues. A rollocking romp through the history of music without the slightest hint of taste, Music for a Decent Number of Winds does more to the woodwind octet than anyone ever thought possible--taking it to new heights of lunacy! Octet scored for flute/piccolo, oboe/english horn, and pairs of clarinets, horns, and bassoons. |
