For flute, bass clarinet, and piano. WAM is an investigation of Mozart - it uses hundreds of slightly altered fragments of, or parodies of, his music - and, instead of assembling them as he might if he were composing, allows them to float by rather as he might if he were daydreaming. Finnissy is making a point about the way we listen to music two hundred years after its composition - usually without a sense of the adventure of putting it together from scratch.

Atypi cal among William Grant Still’s works, DISMAL SWAMP combines eerie effects and mysterious chromaticism in dramatic mixture with his more vernacular American elements to portray The Great Dismal Swamp. This swampland served as a temporary safe haven for runaway slaves en route to the North, as bounty hunters were unlikely to brave the dangerous terrain and wildlife in search of runaways. Composed in 1937, DISMAL SWAMP is scored for standard orchestra with a prominent piano part. This fascinating 13-minute work is within reach of all levels of orchestras, and a valuable addition to symphonic programming.
