Three New England Caricatures

Commissioned for the University of Massachusetts Lowell New England Youth Wind Ensemble, this significant composition by James Curnow is a pure delight. Interesting percussion and a wide range of expectations from every wind player lets all the musicians have the joy of being challenged. The creative exploration and development of these interesting old melodies rewards the entire ensemble in ways that shorter, more condensed pieces cannot. Dur: c. 9:00
