The Ox and the Lark
A duo for Bb Clarinet and Alto Saxophone (2003)
A single movement work of about 6 minutes in duration composed for
Cynthia Krenzel Doggett and her husband Tom who kindly requested this work.
The movement is in three very intense sections (fast-slow-fast) and is
a curious mixture of Balkan and Celtic idioms - which, as an English born
Serbian is seems only natural to me. The title in this case can have
many layers of meaning as it relates to the music, but in reality "Ox"
and "Lark" were chosen as simply word plays on "Sax" and "Clarinet."
