...treatments of melodic lines and the 'flow' of a piece. The first movement proceeds by a multi-layered interlocking of individual wind outbursts, roughly comparable to a group of eight people taking turns reading successive words in a sentence.

The quizzical third and final movement, however, takes the approach of 'white' sound--the musical term is meant to convey the combination of different light wavelengths into a perceived mixture of 'white' light--and perhaps sounds the strangest to the uninitiated...
