The second movement reminds me of Strange Humors by John Mackey, which is a favorite of mine.

When all the four parts are simultaneously played it gives the effect of playing duplication of same copy of melody on both of the hands with addition of two more keys in between on foot-pumped harmonium. But when one part is played and the other three parts are silent the voice of individual instrument (saxophone) is clearly understandable.

Just performed this with my UWEC quartet, it was amazing, I'd be super curious to see a 3rd movement combining the two elements of winter, into perhaps winter driving. Such a fun piece to prepare and play!

That means so much to me!! I'm glad this piece spoke to you in such a significant way. My go to advice for composers is to follow your intuition and write the music that you feel passionately about, so I think your emotional connection to music will take you a long way!

Sorry, just saw this! I like the idea though. I’m a trombonist myself, so I always like writing for low brass. The second movement would be a bit too technical for trombone though.

We are going to this piece for our ensemble but we can not do the full 9 minutes. Will it be plagiarizing if we only do half of it and make our own ending so it’s not 9 minutes?

Glad you're wanting to perform the piece! Since it's in two movements (each about 5 minutes), you could just pick one of the two movements to perform to be under the time limit. But feel free to make any cuts you see fit if needed.
