An Anemious Suite - Solo Clarinet - LM822

COMPOSER : Susan Brown

A collection of short pieces inspired by characters from a story for children

Anemious - "growing in exposed windy places" (and one of the few words in the English language to include all the vowels in alphabetical order)

Prelude

A breeze stirs, and a bird wakes. A rabbit hops through the grass as the wind increases.

Anna

A young girl, Anna enjoys being outside, in touch with nature, her senses attuned to the beauty around her... when her senses take on physical features and personalities of their own.

Laura (hearing)

An effusive acorn

Lenny (smell)

A deep-breathing, sniffing pine cone

Lisa (sight)

A fluttering sycamore wing

Lomax (touch)

A military-style conker

Lucia (taste)

A head-achy, watery piece of sphagnum moss

Lyric (sixth sense)

An old intuitive piece of tree bark

Finale

The senses all merge to form Anna's persona
