This is a piece that was written and performed as a wind instruments and percussion septet in 2010. Recently I had the opportunity to compose a piece for wind instruments, so I based it on the piece I performed in 2010 and made corrections and alterations to complete it.
The first half of the composition is a light, pleasant Allegretto in minor key. The mood changes over time, but the elements and overall theme are deliberately restrained. The latter half features a fugue in which those elements and themes become more prominent and song-like, with repetitions to increase tension as it progresses. I have always liked the structure of a fugue, and when I play them on the piano, I feel an indescribable feeling of exhilaration. I wanted to express this same feeling through wind instruments.
