Additional info/contents	Sie finden hier ein schwungvolles, brillantes Stück, daß auf der Symphony for Winds aus dem Jahre 1961 aufbaut. Erst kurz vor Chance's Tod, nachdem er 10 Jahre daran gearbeitet hatte, war er mit der Arbeit zufrieden und beendete sie. Mit einzigartiger Konsequenz verfolgte der Komponist das Vier-Ton-Motiv Cis - D - F - E. Diese Symphonie in 3 Sätzen wurde vom 'Northwestern Music Center' in North Dakota in Auftrag gegeben und ist dem 'Minot State College Wind Ensemble' gewidmet. Symphony #2 for Winds and percussion was completed in 1972, just before the composer's untimely passing. The entire work is derived from a four.note motive: C#, D, F, and E. These four notes are manipulated in many ways, including transposition, inversion, retrograde-inversion and fragmentation. By transposing the theme at the tritone, an eight-note row is created - the source for many of the woodwinds runs heard in the first movement. The second movement is based on the minor third - the interval between the first and last notes of the motive. The third movement is an episodic form; all of the themes are presented simultaneously near the end of the work just prior to a restatement of two themes from the first movement.
