Critical Response
“This piece is an important new addition to the woodwind quintet literature, and I am proud to have been involved in its premier. I recommend this work to any professional wind quintet looking for new repertoire.” “Mekara's work is monumental—it was written for five instruments plus piccolo, alto flute, bass clarinet, and English horn, and it makes full use of the nine instruments. The piece is 15 minutes in length and is a significant addition to wind quintet repertoire of the 21st century.” “...the piece open[s] up new musical experiences through its unique use of free/open-notation sections juxtaposed against strictly composed ones...” Related Publication
