CONTRAPUNCTUS II

synthesized demo

Contrapunctus II for Wind Ensemble was completed in 2020 and is a transcription by the composer of his Sonata No. 4  for piano. This wind ensemble version is scored for flute, oboe, English horn, Bb clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, French horn, C trumpet, trombone, and tuba. It is a challenging, even virtuosic foray into colorful and continually evolving instrumental combinations, unified by a highly rhythmic texture with moments of lyricism.

The work is in one movement.
