Count Your Blessings

Written for Flute quartet, this pieces creates a solemn presence by the way it interweaves the various parts together. It would work well for a meditation.

A quartet for 2 flutes and 2 clarinets with opt. parts for oboe, B. clar., bassoon and Alto sax. After a brief introduction the flutes carry the melodic material and then shifting the chorus to the clarinets. A modulation shifts the attention to the clarinet melody with punctuation remarks in the other instruments. Further transition moves to another modulation where thematic motifs are passed around in a fughetta fashion where it then becomes more choral in nature ending in a solemn statement.
