Bow The Knee

Published with multiple woodwind parts for each of the three voices plus piano. The piece begins with a rather traditional solo and then joined by an imitative second part. The piece continues in block harmonies and then breaks into contrapuntal movement. With a modulation, the parts become more ornamented. A break is then created with the piano carrying the melodic material and then joined with the trio parts moving together producing solid harmonies. Then, in traditional fashion the piece concludes in a manner of repose.
