For Ocarina Octet
Duration: 1'40"
I wanted to write another piece for my dear friend Noah Lauziere this year for Christmas (following last year's euphonium sonata, Three Places in Massachusetts). Since he's playing in a tuba-euphonium quartet this year, it seemed logical to write a piece for his chamber ensemble!
I connected with Timothy Chernobrov in January 2022 and he commissioned this ocarina octet arrangement of the fifth movement for his ensemble Shooting Star Ocarina, which was completed in February 2022.
