In Threes - Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon

In Threes is in reference to several ongoing ideas in the work. A few of these are quite obvious; others I will leave to the discretion of the listener. Essentially, the work begins with a recurring tutti separated by a solo section for each instrument. The music is never restated exactly the same way twice and gets a little more agitated each time. The final solo for the bassoon leads directly into the concluding section, which has some features reminiscent of the fugue. This work is dedicated to and was premiered by the PEN Trio.
