Dog Tales

In a style that is at once vernacular and refined, Adrienne Albert's DOG TALES is an irresistably playful and pleasing trio for flute/piccolo, clarinet/bass clarinet, and piano. The first movement, "Three Dog Night," draws on the lively antics of the composer's dogsitting experiences. The second, "Dodger," imagines the composer's dog (named Dodger) dodging traffic as he tries to find his way home. The third and final movement, "Mutt & Steff," is a witty scherzo depicting a chihuauhua (the piccolo) and a great dane (bass clarinet) trying to work out how to get along together. DOG TALES offers a delightful and rewarding journey for performers and audiences alike.
