Repeat until the line stops.

Unless the fermata indicate a duration of the hold, all fermatas are treated as normal.



Fermata longer than 10 seconds.

Program Notes My apartment backyard has a gaggle of geese that relax by a large pond. Everyday, I see them as they communicate loudly throughout the day; making me smile. One day during the COVID-19 pandemic, I recorded the geese and I transcribed the recording into a piece for clarinet choir. Highly recommended for university and professional clarinet choir.

Duration ca. 7:00
