In the back of my mind
8/11/07 for three flutes and clarinet choir
Composer's note
A study towards, or perhaps a tangent to, The Other Other Hand. It is composed of four building blocks; Ascending Material for the clarinets; Sick Puppy, a limping gesture for three flutes; Sick Puppy Variations; which adds a bass clarinet to the flutes; and a march. A fourth gesture Dodgy Dog didn't make the cut.
Notes
