Product Description

I. Cloud Song
II. Bear Song
Poohs Serenade (2002) for bassoon, cello, and piano was commissioned by hrCME
for Arts First 2002. The work is dedicated to Lembit Beecher, in appreciation for
what he has done for the ensemble. The Pooh of the title is, of course, Winnie-the-
Pooh, the lovable bear from A. A. Milnes books of stories, Winnie-the-Pooh (1926)
and The House at Pooh Corner (1928).
The work is cast in two short movements. The basic musical material is shared
between the movements. Each is inspired by a different one of Poohs songs. The
first movement, Cloud Song, was inspired by Poohs song as he pretends to be a
cloud, floating through the air tied to a balloon attempting to fool some bees as he
steals their honey. The second movement, Bear Song, is inspired by one of Poohs
happiness songs: Sing Ho! for the life of a Bear!
This work may be performed in one of two ways: (1) The movements may be played
together as a chamber piece. The notes above should be printed in the program and
possibly the texts as well. (2) A narrator could be used to read the poems before the
playing of each movement and perhaps read also some extracts (to provide context
for the poems) from the Milne stories.
