Inspired by a commissioned premiere at the International Clarinet
Association's 2013 ClarinetFest in Assisi, and by his penchant for
creating musical works depicting nature, composer and bass clarinetist
Daniel Dorff has created a suite of five picturesque scenes of St.
Francis of Assisi's commune with nature. Each movement is a dialog
between St. Francis (represented by pure chantlike melody) and an
element of nature (flowers, birds, an angry wolf, fish, starry skies),
offering an opportunity to dramatically showcase the wide range of
textures and contrasts available from the bass clarinet. For advanced
performers. Dur.: 14'
