By Richard Zarou.
A Three Page Note is a piece that recalls the original idea of the wind ensemble.  The piece is scored in the direction of a chamber work where each instrument plays a part in creating the appropriate colors.  This piece focuses on the coloristic groups and solo instruments found within the ensemble.  Color is the main focus.  The character of A Three Page Note is best described as an unwanted conversation.  The piece is comprised of calming dissonances that wrap around a roaringly dissonant middle section.  The piece holds back its anger until it explodes, then catches itself, as each member tries to leave respectively.
