This is an edited and corrected edition from the library of octets composed by Alec Wilder between 1938 and 1940, with another group written in 1947. During the late thirties, several composers were intrigued with short-form composing using jazz rhythms and harmonies. Wilder's titles for these octets were sometimes autobiographical, sometimes elusive. He successfully exploits the "swing versus straight" issue in his music. He was also well-trained in classical music: Sea Fugue, Mama is indeed a swinging classical fugue. Instrumentation: Reed 1: Flute/Clarinet; Reed 2: Oboe/English Horn; Reed 3: Clarinet; Reed 4: Bass Clarinet; Reed 5: Bassoon; Harpsichord; Bass and Drums.
