Five Poems for Wind Quintet (1994)
- Associated Music Publishers Inc (World)
Programme Note
Composer Note:
The five poems — the third preceded by a short interlude (Lamenting Bird) — express my admiration for these wonderful creatures, who embellish our lives so magically. They are only imaginary poems (there are no words, as the poems have not been written). The suggested titles give the listeners free imagination. Musically I have tried to bring some new possibilities of techniques and sound combinations and also to bring out the present virtuosity of woodwind performers.
