The Suite for Winds and Percussion was written for Dr. Ronnie Wooten and the NIU Wind Ensemble.
Three short movements are provided in a “fast-slow-fast” tonal framework in this work. The slow movement is the weightiest portion of the work, and represents emotional states similar to those which can occur during a pandemic. The short outer movements provide preparatory and conclusionary expressions.
The movements are performed attacca.
