It’s pretty obvious what this bay in my metaphoric library will eventually contain. But there’s nothing substantive here yet. (Remember: . . . and that is poetry . . .)
As a start, however, I’ve extracted from my CV a short list of compositions for instrumental ensemble—which includes everything from duets up to (very!) large ensembles:
- Sextet (1967; flute, oboe, horn, piano, two percussionists)
- Bryant’s Ridge Disco Phase No. 1 (1978; disco band of sixteen or more instruments)
- 5 Strings / 3 Players (1987–88; two violins, viola)
- Dancing on Your Grave (1990; chamber orchestra)
- The Kitchen Sink and the Water in It (1991; flute, clarinet, trumpet, two trombones, percussion)
- Common Ground (1995; large wind ensemble and steel band)
- Lullaby (1998; four trumpets, three trombones, bell)
- from . . . on . . . for . . . (2002; flute, cello, piano)
- Small Talk (2002; four unlike instruments capable of crescendo)
- Canticanon (2003; twelve instruments)
- Would That Change (2004; large wind ensemble)
- Disjointed (2011; piano, percussion)
