Clarinet part doubles on B-flat and bass clarinet.
String part doubles on violin and viola.From the composer:
"This work celebrates the human ability to recall details and images of people from long ago having had, at the time, only superficial encounters with them. The composer states: “I have been amazed how after almost six decades it is possible to remember the names, faces, and specific details of high school classmates with whom I had very little contact at the time, and who I have not seen since graduation. While writing this composition I recalled four classmates with whom all I had in common with each were occasional, casual encounters during which words were seldom or never exchanged. Each movement is a sonic portrait that captures the atmosphere I associate with the respective person.”The names of the 4 individuals have been omitted so that audience members, if so inclined, can freely associate similarly casual acquaintances from their past with the atmosphere generated by each of the movements. The music is lyrical and at times suggests the feeling of nostalgia."
