Beautiful. I think it takes balls to compose for a solo wind instrument. RIP both of these men.

What nice song "song" is, eh? Well, i liked it!
It reminds me of some experimental music that i heard, it was more popular though.

It reminds me of Debussy's "Syrinx". I like how Miller suggests different tonalities with the melody. I can understand why some music listeners talk about hearing different colors.
Also, I just realized how much I like the recorder.
