A little flurry of whimsical energy for soprano, alto and bass flute, clarinet and bass clarinet. One of those little ideas that just popped out in the middle of the night. Alternates measures of 5/4 & 6/4. (Hence, "skittery.")

One night early in a Winter, I needed to do something--the right thing, a sad thing... and I did... and then I wrote the opening of this piece. Shortly thereafter, I developed it to its completion. It is structured A B C A'.
The beginning makes "the statement."
The middle recognizes "moving on."
The finale "remembers."
There are arrangements for woodwind quintet (flute, english horn, clarinet, horn, bassoon) and for horn ensemble.
