This arrangement of Capriccio Noir for mass double reed ensemble (originally written for piano with chamber orchestra), was created for and premiered at the 47th International Double Reed Association Conference in Granada, Spain.

A dark introduction gives way to a jazz rock flavored work that features open improvised solo sections for members of the ensemble as well as a big drum set solo. It is sure to be an audience favorite!
