Cascade, trio for clarinet, alto sax, bassoon, SCORE AND PARTS

I like the way cascade is used in electronics—a series of networks, each having an output that serves as the input for the next. This image gets at the deep connectedness between distinct sections that I was striving for in Cascade. But the several long, descending gestures in Cascade draw on another sense of cascade—a series of waterfalls over steep rocks.
