Description: 2 B-flat trumpets, trombone and baritone horn. Tonal. Commissioned/Premiered by the University of the Redlands' New Music Ensemble. (A swale is a meadow or a marsh where a lot of wild plants grow together. The composer discovered the word when a horse named Swale won the Kentucky Derby in 1984. Since her work is primarily collage of newly composed musical swatches, she has used the name extensively.) This is a brass quartet.
