Muenster (Germany), 36.5° C, the sun is blazing.
I really like my office in the attic; it is always the best atmosphere to compose. In summer, however, my room becomes a little sauna on extremely warm days. The thermometer reached 36.5° C one day, and I realized my train of thought, which had been for weeks on a big concert piece, had wandering off...
The piece was thus created with the anticipation of jumping in and cooling off in the outdoor pool.
I wish you, your musicians and the audience much joy with this little musical "cool-off"!

Musical Note:
The piece is based on a rhythmic ostinato, which - with the exception of the bass part - can be found in all parts. This rhythm is noted in different places, but can also be played simultaneously, for example as part of warming up:
Clarinet / Alto Saxophone = bars 1 and 2
Trumpet = bars 5 and 6
Tenor Parts = bars 13 and 14
Drumset = bar 43
Flute / Oboe / Xylophone (Mallets) = bars 45 and 46
Bass part and timpani can take another ostinato from bar 1 or 53.
