WIND SYMPHONY (Daniel Goode)
Composed for the Wind Band, this piece was first performed as part of the Diamond Jubilee on, and for, the Staten Island Ferry in 1980.It is made up of a pulse and a set of 9 rhythmic motives for which pitches and entrances are chosen ad libitum by the performers according to guidelines in the score. The duration, dynamics, and manner of ending are decided by the ensemble. Performed by the composer, guest artists, and Relâche.

This concert was held at the Port of History Museum, on October 11, 1987. The recording was provided to Other Minds by Joseph Franklin who directed the 1987 New Music America Festival, and Werner Strobel who digitized the original tape recordings.
