Earnest, John David – Chimera Waltzes for Flute, Bass Flute, Clarinet and Piano

Of his Chimera Waltzes (2016), John David Earnest writes, “My goal was to link together ideas from completely different sources, in the same way that the chimera of ancient mythology were hybrid creatures made of parts of several different animals.” This work contains a salient bass flute solo and an intricate clarinet cadenza.
