Clarinet, 2000
Duration: 9 minutes
2 movements:
I. Lazy Blues-Snake River God Courts the
North Wind
II. Tiny Hyper Spirit-Bear Escapes the
Grumpy Goblins’ Lair
Program note:
Magic Forest Scenes are a pair of surreal evocations from a composite
imaginary other-world drawn from a lifelong love of fiction and
mythology. The rhapsodic first movement, “Lazy Blues-Snake
River
God Courts the North Wind” contrasts with the scherzo second
movement, “Tiny Hyper Spirit-Bear Escapes the Grumpy
Goblins’ Lair”. The work was composed for clarinet
virtuoso
Mitchell Estrin in 2000.
