work comments

The form of the piece has sort of a ’rondo’-like structure and divided into three sections.

 

The sections however is deliberately disordered and characters changes, where the related sections diminishes and augmentes in space of time.

 

The harmony as well, is also distorted by micro-intervals and feels like looking through broken windows. It starts with a reversed ’big-bang’ but suddenly the wandering begins between high and low ”coloured” instruments.

Reviews on Colour wandering for 10 brass players

[…] ”hauntingly explored instrumental blends and colours, enhanced by those reflected 

on the gleaming instruments from the blue and red stage lightning.” […]

Peter Grahame Woolf, Musical Pointers May 7th 2005.
