Programme notes

A welcome addition to the woodwind choir repertoire. Scored for flutes, oboes, bassoons, saxophones, string bass and a full complement of clarinets, full of warm, characteristic instrumental writing, in a traditional idiom. Enjoyable to play, and with enough tricky corners to keep you on your toes.
