The Road to Tasartico for Woodwind Quintet

Description

Commissioned by the Mill Ave Chamber Players

Escape from Winter has begun

To such remoteness must I go.

Across the sea to find the sun,

On the road to Tasartico.

Across the sea and over the pass,

So distant must I go.

A lonely house sleeps in a crevasse

On the road to Tasartico.

Composed in Tasartico, Gran Canaria – February 21-26, 2017
