-**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.
