Judith Lang Zaimont�s �Growler� for wind orchestra, is the first movement of her Symphony for Wind Orchestra in Three Scenes, the other two movements being �Dreamz� and �Tattoo.� Commissioned in 2003 to honor the Centennial of the School of Music at the University of Minnesota, for the university�s Wind Ensemble, Professor Craig Kirchhoff, conductor, the work has been described as follows � �Inside six brief
minutes a seething, inflected wall of sound appears, evaporates, chases itself round and round, and then rebuilds two more times. In between these brutal walls the percussion section first marches past and later on wildly drums in two sharply designed solo turns. Low instruments, and swirling, muscular harmonies predominate.�
