Product Description

Thalia is the flourishing Muse of humour and comedy. This is a ragtime for wind quintet, composed in her honour. The audio sample is an electronic preview with the composer reciting his limericks. It has a central section in which each instrument takes its turn to "tell" a humorous limerick, sometimes ending with a sly reference to the song "It ain't necessarily so". Any performers who can find a speaker who is prepared to recite a limerick in time with these rhythmical excerpts is most welcome to invite him or her to do so :-) Each instrument has its own approach to its overall feel for humour, the clarinet being perhaps the most embarassing since it occasionally continues to "chuckle" with its bottom notes after everyone else has gone on to the next subject. A version without the limericks is also available on this site The pdf file contains the score and parts
