Dance Giocoso

For Clarinet & Piano

For Wind Sextet

Dance Giocoso began life in late 1998. Composed for Jennifer Taylor who was preparing to take her Grade 5 clarinet at the time. The initial work on the piece produced just the first 16 bars. In February 1999, the middle calypso section was added and the piece completed. At the same time an arrangement was made for Wind Sextet for Senior Wind Ensemble at Furze Platt Senior School.
