In Quest of Uluru: Mallet Percussion

The slow introduction splits the melody between the clarinets, alto sax, and flute. This builds into a full band statement scored in a very lush manner. A faster section moves between 4/4 and 2/4, creating a pulse that captivates the listener. The repetitive rhythms and solid scoring of James Swearingen make this an ideal festival or contest piece.
