Shelter In The Time Of Storm, A

An unaccompanied quartet for two flutes and two clarinets. The introduction is presented in a rather rollicking manner where it breaks into a first presentation of the melody- the verse is more said while the chorus is more snappy. A brief transition gives way to the first flute stating the tune, supported by the clarinets with this chorus more block. A modulation takes place using motivic material from the theme with the style smoother and more contrapuntal. The coda section takes from the introduction material and gains dynamic momentum, with a snappy ending.
