A gentle allegretto but needing a nimble soprano and some lyrical playing from tenor and baritone.

"... Brass Wind Publications 'Harvest of Reeds' series has produced some real gems for performers ..."
'Music Teacher'

"... They display the arranger's ear for colour and effective contrast. Distribution of melodic material is always thoughtful and each instrument plays a full part…The ensemble is well balanced with much colour variety, which is what we have come to expect from one of our finest arrangers."
