I began this piece in 1974 as a project for my Music Composition lessons in college. Decades later I found it and finished it. The piece is based on a repeated chromatic chord progression. It's first entrance is in measure 3. The Clarinet holds onto the F# while the Flute rises and the Bassoon descends by half steps. At the end of the piece they contract. I sneaked a few quotes into the fabric of the music: 1. the opening bass line from John Lennon's Come Together 2. the opening oboe line from Bela Bartok's Concerto for Orchestra 4th Movement 3. the first orchestral snippet from Paul McCartney's Live and Let Die 4. the theme of Dmitri Shostakovich's Fugue no. 5 in D Major from the 24 Preludes and Fugues, op. 87.
