Monday Waltz for flute, oboe, bassoon, and piano

July 7, 2009

This was originally a monody, which became a kind of parallel monody, and then grew into a four-instrument waltz."Monody" looks so much like "Monday" that I simply decided to change the name, since this piece no longer has anything to do with monody. Or with Monday either, for that matter.

The score and parts, as well as an audio recording are available here.
