... and he walked a crooked mile...

CROOKED LISA – In this lovely quaint, slightly offbeat composition, Beethoven’s most popular piece is mangled practically beyond recognition – and yet the original structure remains miraculously intact. The “jazzy� middle section maintains the key relationship of the original, but it is reimagined in alternately swinging and “straight� phrases with a decidedly bluesy feel.
Could this be the perfect encore piece? Let's say yes!
Performed by West Coast Wind Quintet. Duration: approx. 2 mins.

This lively overture is from an opera first performed in 1694, written by Élisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, a female French composer from the Baroque Period. It was originally for string orchestra with oboe and basso continuo and has been arranged here for a standard woodwind quintet. The piece has 3 sections defined by different meters, and the bouncy melodic lines get energy from dotted rhythms and ornaments. It's a great addition to woodwind quintet libraries and recitals since it offers music by a female composer from the Baroque Period.
