about

The writing of this work was funded by the Saskatchewan Arts Board through their Independent Artists program.

The Mindset
                     nonet
for trios of clarinets, horns & violoncello
(nine players) 

Also known as Chamber Symphony No. 12

This composition is an epic work for nine players. It is 74 minutes long.

It was created in a way that one large four-movement work was written, but also nine small works we written as well (see CD54) A pattern of ensemble reoccurred in each of the four movements so, the work opens with a section for all nine players, followed by subgroup sections:

Subgroup of six: 2,2,2) - in I Ching No. 01-01
