Review:
Ringers will encounter substantial challenges in this fascinating jazz-oriented original, with the constant meter changes being the foremost. Even eighth notes are the basis but the composer arranges them in ever-shifting patterns that require careful attention. Thematic repetitions ease the learning process in this colorful, imaginative work. "Alpha and Omega" is 214 measures in length.
