Description

Based on the arrangement written for the septet, Shorter Stories, this odd meter treatment features melodic material in every part. Primarily set in 7/4, this even eighth treatment includes strategic moments of ¾ time as part of the form. Solo space for alto, 1, tenor 1, trumpet 2, guitar or piano as well as a dialog between the ensemble and drummer.
