(Level III) As the name suggests, this is a slow, delicate tune. The harmonies, melodies, and textures are very adventuresome and are intended to create the feeling of taking a nap in bright sunshine. Most of the piece is in a slow 5/4 meter, and the counting is a bit tricky. Woodwind doubles: Reed 1 (clarinet/soprano sax); Reed 2 (clarinet/tenor sax); Reed 3 (bass clarinet/bari sax); trumpets double on flugelhorn. 4 Brass, 3 Sax
