Dart, Skitter, Dash!
A little flurry of whimsical energy for soprano, alto and bass flute, clarinet and bass clarinet. One of those little ideas that just popped out in the middle of the night. Alternates measures of 5/4 & 6/4. (Hence, "skittery.")
duration: 75 seconds, Dm

Revisited this piece and arranged for guitar, (oboe)/alto flute & flute. (Em)

I like it... -- C. Smith

Splash: Duet for Piano and Bassoon/Trombone

A miniature piece, inspired by a work I heard recently and loved: Bassoon Sonatine by Alexandre Tansman

key: F

duration: about 2 minutes.

The range was a perfect fit, so I tweaked for Trombone as well.

Then i added a video track to make it more FB-friendly.
