Gallego / Haecker / Illinois State University Wind - Monuments - Music for Wind Symphony - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This much lauded series continues with a sequence of four premiere recordings played by the elite Illinois State University Wind Symphony.

Sydney Hodkinson's expressive Duae Cantatae Breves explores the slow and meditative potential of the wind band.
