Tangents derives its name from divergent musical lines that seem to arrive and depart from a musical center, much like fragments of thoughts that tangentially pass through conversations. (A solo piano version recorded by Max Lifchitz was released on North/South Recordings, “Moods: Piano Music by American Women Composers“.)
(Perusal score is for wind quintet)
