Jesu Joy Of Man’s Desiring

Written for flute, oboe, clarinet or saxophone this pieces creates a solemn presence by the way it interweaves the various parts together. It would work well for a meditation.

A flute quartet which begins with a Q/A format and then breaks into a chordal structure with some gentle modifications. This format continues until it moves into a modulation where the piece once again uses a Q/A design- keeping the piece on the move. This flowing movement continues until it modulates into a section that is grand and declamatory. After some unctuated accompaniment the piece makes a final declamation then lies into repose.
