O To Be Like Thee

A woodwind trio for flutes and clarinet with opt. part for oboe, clarinet and alto sax. In a triple meter the piece begins in a lilting fashion. A lot of interesting counterpoint keeps the piece flowing with constant movement. A modulation occurs and the rhythmic activity increases while the countrapuntal activity continues. Another modulation takes place and shifts to a duple meter while the melodic material is passed around amongst the various parts. The final section goes back to a triple meter and uses the flavor of the beginning.
