Wilson, A - The Weather Gauge for wind trio

(Opus 355)
1. Bright and Blowy
2. Misty Monday
3. Rain Games

Everyone has something to say about the weather and in this trio for flute, clarinet and bassoon; all three instruments use their characteristic voices and capabilities to comment on, and describe three types of typically English weather. Bright and Blowy is a picture of a bracing spring morning full of promise and energy. Misty Monday is a favourite with audiences and players alike: the opaque tremolando texture and plangent melody suggest the shrouding of familiar things and places by a deceptive fog. The finale, Rain Games, is a playful fugal movement inspired by the ever-changing patterns that animate rain-splashed puddles.
If you are looking for a piece that demonstrates the versatility and brilliance of this instrumental combination in a thoroughly attractive and memorable way, which is also great fun to play, The Weather Gauge will certainly fit your requirements!
