Annotation : Composed in five short movements, this piece requires players that have significant ensemble experience. The parts are very independent and technically challenging. The work frequently utilizes hocketing and duple against triple rhythmic overlapping, making handoffs difficult. There is no written key signature, but a fair share of accidentals in each part.
