Description:
Composed in 1981; In Praise of Zephyrus was written for oboist Philip West. Richard Wernick later provided this brief program note: Zephyrus was the god of the west wind. Philip West; of blessed memory; for whom I wrote the piece; was a wind player; an oboist and English horn player of distinction; and a very dear friend. The three movements are in no way programmatic; but reflect to me at least the mercurial and colorful aspects of Phil's vivid persona.
