Program Notes:

This piece was originally the third movement of my Sonata Clarinata, written for Bb clarinet and piano played by one player simultaneously. It was inspired by a variety of sources, including Shelley Hanson's Albanian Dance and The Swingles's Buçimis. Its original setting is unlikely to receive many performances and I like it so much that I decided to set it for clarinet choir!
