When the Winter Rains

For woodwind quartet - bassoon, clarinet flute, oboe , c.3'25

This fantasy piece was inspired by changes in the environment during a single week in the south-west of Western Australia. In this region, winter is typified by alternating warm sunshine and cool cloudy days. It's a season for fog, frosts, sudden squally thunderstorms, hail, and persistent light rain; a welcome change from the dry summer heat. Vegetation grows lush and thick, frogs emerge, and waterways and wetlands fill and overflow. 
Composed 2016
