Sonorities is an exploration into the different tone colors that a concert band can offer. Warm timbres in the woodwinds coupled with quartel harmonies give the piece an open and rich color. This is juxtaposed with ringing percussion and aleatoric effects that give the piece brighter shades and hues.

The "In Free Time" sections at the beginning and end of the piece are up to the conductor and the peformer's interpretation. Each of the 3 fermatas should be cued.

The section marked "Repeat motive out of time ad lib." are performed by repeating the boxed notes in order with each player "improvising" their own rhythm, creating a layered effect. The rhythms should be drawn out and not hurried.
