At last a chunk of time long enough to absorb this work.
Very little to comment - this is the work of a professional. Shame the dynamics are compressed by the use of electronic playback and I think human performance would render some passages more expressive, like the first movement clarinet solos around 2.00.
Enjoyable with interesting harmonic turns and cadences. Restrained use of brass in the first movement. Again, live playback would give some of the suspensions and decorations a chance to speak through.
Second movement - airy. .The lower brass, snare and other percussion building toward the climax at 3.00 seemed a bit heavy and too rhythmic given the scale of the opening. Were you portraying something particular
on the prairie?
Lovely ending. I'll always appreciate a piece that doesn't end on Ia with no decorations!
Great. Look forward to hearing more.
....But you should have put up a score so we could learn a bit!
