This suite for wind quintet features five movements titled Aria, Scat, Lied, Frottola and Chorale. With the exception of Scat, these names draw on forms and genres from early music. Lasting just 17 minutes, this unique composition is readily accessible for audiences, yet technically challenging enough to require a professional ensemble for performance. Windsongs was composed in 2019 for 'Windscape' - a prominent wind ensemble currently teaching and performing as artists-in-residence at the Manhattan School of Music.

Reminiscent of this composer’s Excellentia Overture, this exceptional concert/contest composition will show off your band’s ability to play both crisp energetic and lyrical styles. Majestic fanfare opening statements prepare the spirited main theme that alternates between brass and woodwinds. Separating the outer fast section is a beautiful legato song which builds to a triumphant climax before returning to the main theme. Extremely Nice!
