«I wanted to write a moto perpetuo, a piece that starts running and never stops (equus is the Latin word for horse) and would also be a virtuosic show piece for winds. The final result is something that I call “dynamic minimalism”, which basically means that I love to employ repetitive patterns as long as they don’t get boring» (Eric Whitacre).
