Michael J. Wilson - Music 128


Full ensemble piece - "Monorail"

by Michael J. Wilson

Seven distinct timbres are modified by the performers as a set score is realized. The piece begins with a slowly building section, followed by the introduction of a main theme. It progresses through a second theme, another building section, a fortissimo "solo" section, and concludes with a reprise of the first theme and a build-down section.
