He is still very active and is busy with several projects and compositions. His chamber music is widely neo-Romantic and rhapsodic, repeating motifs indifferent ways, constantly evading fixed tonality but retaining a soft and mellifluous melodic flow. Thus: his music is distinctive and strongly constructed but very attractive-post-modernist in the best sense. This collection of woodwind works begins with the 1964 Bassoon Sonata-more edgy, redolent of Prokofiev or Hindemith-through to the 2007 Fantasy Trio, polytonal, rhapsodic with beautiful textures. All works are receiving their first commercial recording. The four musicians are among Australian's finest-among many other activities, Waye and Meyer are principals with the West Australian Symphony; Walpole is an internationally-known freelance and Wickham is acknowledged to be among Australia's most pre-eminent accompanists.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42313871032395,"sku":"METI28607.2","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/3842126-2600026_95334443-d11f-4316-87fa-c306677b9a98.jpg?v=1775755369","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/allen-waye-wickham-music-for-woodwinds-music-cd-809730860720","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
