Suite for Piccolo Quartet

Forget all those jokes about what is worse than one piccolo etc - this is exactly the right piece to make four piccolos sound fantastic! The writing is intelligently pitched mainly in the singing part of the piccolo and only goes very high to make a point. There is also a good deal of expressive playing which is lovely. This all helps with colour and intonation, and makes the piece more playable. It is difficult though. Controlling the intricacies of the ensemble and coping with the technical challenges presented here require advanced instrumental and musical skills. If you have those this is the perfect piece for you!
