Nature Studies for solo clarinet
Lawrence Moss
About this work:
There are four movements, based on the composer's interpretation of various effects found in Nature. the first mnovement, Branching, conveys the impression of branches and ultimately twigs; it is followed by "Song" - an idealized version of birdsong. Next is Clouds, then Fire, followed by Sunset, and a final Song. Ideally, the work requires 2 stands with stand lights.
