July 31, 201015 yr Bamboo Suite is a piece written for a trio of double reeds. In four movements, the piece covers a great deal of territory concerning 20th century music. The opening explores interval based music. The piece is written taking a root note with notes one semi-tone up, two semi-tones up and 5 semi-tones up. The Scherzo takes the motive of the first and plays with the rhythm obscuring the pulse. The Choral explores the tonal color of the various instruments. The Finale weaves these elements together to show commonality and versatility. Bamboo Suite

July 31, 201015 yr me too. Somehow it sounded nicely grounded, sort of tonal. Congrats with the recording. Not bad, but I got the idea there were quite some errors in it...
August 1, 201015 yr Author to jrcramer, yes, they were student musicians who tried valiantly to play the music well (and did so all things considered) but there were mistakes made in the performance. thanks for the compliments!
