Dance Suite

Dance Suite for clarinet and dance is comprised of three short movements with two mini- interludes in between, which are designed as short breaks for the dancer.

As the subtitles suggest, each movement has its own character. This piece tries to catch various moods – sometimes happy, sometimes grumpy, sometimes jolly, and sometimes nutty.

This recording was performed Blake McGee (clarinetist) and Carrie Goodnight (dancer/choreographer).
