Additional Information

This piece was written when I was a student at Leeds University and was my second attempt at a wind quintet. It is a serial composition and is a “dialogue” between the flute and the other four instruments. The lyrical music of the flute interacts with the less stable music of the other instruments and gradually influences and calms them.
