Firewheel

Philip Cashian's Firewheel for Flute, Clarinet, Vibraphone, Violin and Cello. Score and parts.

'The title Firewheel is borrowed from the painting of the same name by British artist Bryan Wynter (1915-1975). In recent years I've been fascinated by his brilliantly coloured late abstract paintings and their allusion to patterning found in the natural world. My piece is playful in character, conceived in layers and grows out of repetition, line and ostinati.' - Philip Cashian
