(Level IV) Medium jazz waltz in a subdued ECM style. Simple, yet haunting melody. Rich orchestral textures throughout, minimal technical demand on ensemble. Statement of theme is followed by alto solo and continues into the development section, leading to a dramatic high point. Gradual resolution to a quiet, austere ending that leaves everyone thinking. 9 Brass
