As it was added to the wind quintet repertoire of Imani Winds, a woodwind quintet that was created and founded by Coleman, and it soon became a signature piece of the ensemble. The melody is mainly a French horn solo with supporting rhythms from the upper winds and a constant motor played by the bassoon. Even though the meter is in 3\/4 time, the melody and percussive upper wind accompaniment is mostly phrased in 6\/8 when there is syncopation. Most importantly, the entire feel should be in 1.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Coleman Page Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45451554226255,"sku":"TPB001-01-7000","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/07fc67bd9773088c98f7d224b84a78d6.avif?v=1780692326"},{"product_id":"v-coleman-umoja-version-for-flute-quartet-coleman-page","title":"V.
