One Ann Arbor Morn

One Ann Arbor Morn is a quaintly touching suite of scenes from the composer's childhood; scored for the rich and rare trio instrumentation of C Flute; Alto Flute; and Bass (or Contrabass). I. Through the Arbor is a bucolic recollection of trees; parks; and rivers. II. Morningtide Promise begins with an Alto solo; it is a sunny weekend when life was simple. III. Agent McSquirrel and the New Feeder Caper is not only the scherzo suggested by its playful title; but a steamy flute trio tinged with the film noir jazz suggesting detectives investigating the latest burglary caper.
