Digital Sheet Music

Impromptu is a short, bright, up-tempo piece commissioned in 1975 by KTCA Public Television (Minnesota), to be used as introduction music for a community news and information show. In conversations about what kind of music should reflect the personality of the half-hour show, "optimism," "serious lightness," and "sense of positive outcome" were all given to me as goals for the sound of the music--at the time a strange request for a serious, post-modern, 24-year-old newly minted composer! I composed Impromptu for flute, oboe (or clarinet) and bassoon. It's approximately one and a half minutes long, in ABA form, with mildly mixed meters (5/8, 3/8 and 6/8) set on a lively constant eighth note pulse. -Libby Larsen, 2018 .
