Whistling in the Woods started from hearing a repeated bird whistle while
camping in Wyoming. This theme introduces the piece in the flute with chimes
ringing in the evening. The woodwinds maintain a light whimsical pattern.
Short sixteenth figures dot the imagery in various instruments. The horn then
proclaims the majestic of the beauty of dusk. The rolling energy is picked up
by the snare drum and pushed to a
bouncing triplet rhythm. A sweetness follows with a quarter note melody. This
slowly fades into a lonely and mesmerizing middle section between a single
alternating clarinet, vibraphone, and wood block. Previous themes come back
in darker moods. The instrumentation then adds a few layers and textures at a
time, combining previous musical ideas, to create a bright finish. Potential
difficulty in rhythms and intervals. Opportunity for high trumpet and horn
range in the first parts. Opportunity for several percussionists.
