Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Bassoon,Clarinet,Flute,Oboe - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1514366 Composed by Alan Edgar. 20th Century. 16 pages. Alan Edgar Ted Moon #1088846. Published by Alan Edgar Ted Moon (A0.1514366). PROGRAMME NOTE: This depicts aspects of spider life, and the reactions of an arachnophobe. In the introduction, we hear the 12- note-row then very long pauses as the spider waits for prey to approach. Frenetic activity leads to the capture of prey and its consumption. The arachnophobe (instruments or players) scream on seeing the spider. A relatively consonant waltz depicts the halting, tapping, very careful, mating dance of the male. She eats him anyway. Next we limn the hundreds of babies hatching and abseiling down on their threads. This of course makes the arachnophobe scream again.DURATION: 4 minutes.INSTRUMENTATION: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon.
