I implemented a rather unconventional composition technique on this piece, chance. Shuffling a deck of cards and laying out groups of 8 cards, having the number values equal scale degrees. if C is 1, d=2, c=3, d=4 and so on. Those are the lines you hear in the dulcimer and bass. The flutey brass and flutey lead that you hear was improvised. Listen to how the lines converse with one another.
