Product Description

This depicts aspects of spider life, and the reactions of an arachnophobe. In the introduction, we hear the 12- note-row (yes, it's pure 12-note serial, but there's no need totell them this). Then very long pauses as the spider waits for prey to approach. Frenetic activity leads to the capture of prey and its consumption. The arachnophobe (instruments and players) scream on seeing the spider. A relatively consonant waltz depicts the halting, tapping, very careful, mating dance of the male. She eats him anyway. Next we limn the hundreds of babies hatching and abseiling down on their threads. This of course makes the arachnophobe scream again.  Don't use for a wedding, but perhaps for that murder-mystery evening or ghost hunt?

DURATION: 4 minutes. INSTRUMENTATION: String Quartet
