- | **Annotation** : This work for four Bb clarinets aims to depict various scenes of life in Alabama | + | |
- | during the early to mid twentieth century. To achieve this, the composer utilizes various folk and | + | |
- | slave songs as the basis for much of the melodic content. Written in three movements, the work | + | |
- | is ideal for a young ensemble. There are opportunities for short solo passages and several tempo | + | |
- | transitions and fermati to help younger, less experienced ensembles become more familiar with | + | |
- | ensemble mechanics. The range of the work does not often enter the altissimo register save for a | + | |
- | few notes in the first clarinet part. | + | |
