At the End of the Rainbow - Bassoon 1

With a title that refers to the ongoing quest in which we all embark when trying to find our place in the world, Richard Saucedo's "At the End of the Rainbow" takes us on a journey of varied moods and styles. After the stark and dramatic opening unison statements, this imaginative works features a lighthearted and spirited 12/8 section with plenty of rhythmic vitality. This is beautifully paired with a lyric middle section that showcases a solo for horn and flowing melodic lines that build to an emotional climax. The fast 12/8 section returns with an exciting and energized finish. Dur: 4:10
