Scherzo Emphatique for Woodwind Quintet

Scherzo Emphatique in C minor (6/8 meter) is an energy infused "emphatic" musical statement for the standard woodwind quintet. Each of the voices shares the melodic material at some point in the piece. In a simple ternary form the piece ends in a flurry of notes and rhythms thereby putting an exclamation point on its emphatic intent.
