''Winds of Nagual'', written in 1985, is one of North American composer Michael Colgrass's works for wind ensemble. It has become a standard of the wind ensemble/concert band repertoire. Based on the writings of Carlos Castaneda, the work consists of seven movements. In 1985 the piece won the and Sudler International Composition Competition. ==Structure== *Movement 1: "The Desert: Don Juan Emerges from the Mountains" *:This movement is highly evocative of the opening of Igor Stravinsky's ''The Rite of Spring''. The opening sound of the is a possible reminder of the bassoon in the treble clef from Stravinsky's ballet. *Movement 2: "Don Genaro Appears" *:Laughter can be heard from the clarinets in an unmistakable sound in this movement. *Movement 3: "Carlos Stares at the River and Becomes a Bubble" *Movement 4: "The Gait of Power" *Movement 5: "Asking Twilight for Calmness and Power" *Movement 6: "Don Juan Clowns for Carlos" *:Clowns from a circus or carnivale can be heard here—the clarinet and saxophone sections utilize folk music to make sound that could remind the listener of a memory of painted-up performers. *Movement 7: "Last Conversation and Farewell" *:A similar sounding feel to the "Great Gate of Kiev" from ''Pictures at an Exhibition'' by Modest Mussorgsky 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Winds of Nagual」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
