for clarinet, violin, cello, and piano
I composed this little suite for clarinet, violin, cello, and piano in 2011, my freshman year as a composition student at CUA. The premier performance was at the composition devision recital in the spring of 2011. The inspiration of this came Bartok’s Romanian Folk dances and the score of the 2000 Lasse Hallstrom film, Chocolate (one of my favorites), composed by Rachel Portman. The idea of naming the movements after various treats was taken from Tchaikovsky’s Nutchracker Suite.
