Wind Quintet: Es ist genug

Composer's Note:

Wind Quintet: Es ist genug opens with a twelve-tone passage using a segment of the Fibonacci series for rhythm.  This is developed and followed by a more lyrical theme using all major triads with the twelve-tone figures as an obligato.  The twelve-tone material is then developed followed by a return to the more lyrical theme.  The twelve-tone ideas reappear but are supplanted by the lyrical theme, which is further developed.  The twelve-tone material returns and is extended.  During which whole-tone patterns emerge leading to the opening of Bach’s setting of the chorale Es ist genug (“It is enough”).  A final return of the twelve-tone material is overtaken by whole-tone patterns leading to a more extended Es ist genug which ends the work.
