About

Scored for E flat, B flat and bass clarinets with orchestra this work was reviewed as, "a magnificent reward to the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra...a civilised and serious piece, but also delightfully witty...scored with a delicacy and sophistication that shows a very sure ear, alert to the details that enliven an orchestral score." (Rod Biss, NZ Listener) "The music is over-flowing with colourful percussive strokes and tongue-in-cheek parody." (Matthew Suttor, Music in NZ) "The three clarinets effectively behave as a 'super-clarinet' with an enormous range of five octaves. Set against the other instruments...the result is a vibrant glitter of timbre." (Suzanne Court, Music in NZ)
