Ocotillo

Oboe, Bb Clarinet, and Trombone | Duration: 3 minutes
 
Inspired by the resilient desert plant native to the Southwest, "Ocotillo" brings unique instrumentation to life. Written to fulfill the specific needs of a chamber group at college, the piece reflects the ocotillo’s ability to thrive and transform after rainfall. Featuring a free-time clarinet cadenza, this composition flourishes with vibrant contrasts and showcases each instrument's distinct voice in an evocative sonic landscape.
