Uroboros by Penkrot published on 2014-03-09T01:04:27Z Uroboros is an ancient symbol, depicting a dragon eating its own tail – a fitting analogy for a bass clarinet player. To convey this particular image, each line roughly follows a contour that begins where it ended. At several points, the pitch becomes unhinged from the melodic stream. These dragon-like shrieks contrast the reflective character of the rest of the piece. Uroboros was written for Thiago de Souza in 2013. This performance was 11/16/13 at the University of Michigan. Genre bass clarinet
