£17.49
(Opus 355)
1. Bright and Blowy
2. Misty Monday
3. Rain Games
Everyone has something to say about the weather and in this trio for flute, clarinet and bassoon; all three instruments use their characteristic voices and capabilities to comment on, and describe three types of typically English weather. Bright and Blowy is a picture of a bracing spring morning full of promise and energy. Misty Monday is a favourite with audiences and players alike: the opaque tremolando texture and plangent melody suggest the shrouding of familiar things and places by a deceptive fog. The finale, Rain Games, is a playful fugal movement inspired by the ever-changing patterns that animate rain-splashed puddles.
If you are looking for a piece that demonstrates the versatility and brilliance of this instrumental combination in a thoroughly attractive and memorable way, which is also great fun to play, The Weather Gauge will certainly fit your requirements!
