Crosswinds was composed by Jason Thorpe Buchanan during the Fall of 2005. This duet for Flute and Clarinet was composed in a pandiatonic style. The quasi-functional harmonies are implied through the thin textures of the piece, enhanced by the contrasting colors provided by the two woodwinds. The work is almost entirely through composed, with the exception of the sparse return of the opening theme.
