Central Park Suite — Stephen Lias

Central Park Suite (1991)

Based on impressions of New York’s Central Park, each movement of this woodwind quintet functions as a sort of snapshot of different moods and locations as they exist in my memory.  This twelve-minute work in three movements was written in 1991, and revised in 2001.
