*Tangents* derives its name from divergent musical lines that seem to arrive and depart from a musical center, much like fragments of thoughts that tangentially pass through conversations. (A [solo piano version](https://thty8p35tm9d6f9.onstatic.studio/works-catalog/tangents-piano/) recorded by Max Lifchitz was released on North/South Recordings, “[*Moods: Piano Music by American Women Composers*](https://thty8p35tm9d6f9.onstatic.studio/product/moods-cd/)“.)

Audio is a midi realization of the version for wind quintet.

(Perusal score is for wind quintet)
