  This is all six movements of six contrasting movements for a woodwind doubler that was composed for and premiered by Bret Pimentel. Each movement can stand alone as a solo piece or it can be played by a woodwind doubler as part of a suite (see listing under movement titles for each individual instrument). The six movements are as follows: Intrada for flute and piano is energetic and playful with a lot of interplay between instruments. The Nocturne for alto saxophone and piano, being a night piece, is both lyrical and mysterious. The Valse for bassoon and piano is in a flowing waltz tempo with occasional shifts away from three beats in the measure. The Marche for clarinet and piano is not a piece that would be used in a parade. It is a march that exists in the mind of a child who is playing with toy soldiers; therefore there is playfulness and humor that would not occur in a functional march. Lyrical lines and expressiveness are the predominating features of the Romanza for oboe and piano . The piece comes to a rousing close with the Galop for either piccolo and piano or one musician playing flute, oboe, clarinet, alto saxophone, bassoon, and piccolo accompanied by piano , which is a "perpetual motion" type of movement with a lot of rhythmic variety. Both options for this movement are included.

  The American Heritage Dictionary defines “mosaic” as a picture or decorative design made by setting small colored pieces, such as tile, in mortar. The musical ideas in this composition are treated in a similar fashion. The small colored pieces can be compared to the musical motifs of the composition. Sometimes these fragments form a larger unit and become a recognizable melody. At other times, the fragments are combined differently therefore creating a variation to the original idea. Throughout the three-movement composition, this technique has been employed to create loose formal structures that still have unity and variety through the use of contrasting sections. The three movements themselves create contrast by being organized in a fast - slow - fast arrangement. The musical language is tonal with frequent shifts in the tonal center and with harmony in thirds and fourths. It was been recorded by Cristina Ledford and Michael McGhee on the CD Mosaic.
