Five Frogs is inspired by One Hundred Frogs by Hiroaki Sato\, a little book that takes a look at one hundred different haikus\, sonnets\, prose poems\, and even limericks based on Bashô’s haiku\, “Old Pond/Frog jumps in/The sound of water”. Each of the instruments in the ensemble is so different and so exceptional in their sound and abilities that I realized each one could be one of the frogs from the book. The clarinet is perfect for “Leaping” because of its agility and grace\, the way a frog can be still one minute and gone the next. “Catching Bugs” gave me the opportunity to use the piccolo and allow the ensemble to run ‘amuck’ after their bug dinner. Finally\, in “Epilogue” all the frogs sing together\, each one bringing their own musical motive into this final movement. \nThis work is recorded on two CDs: \nSongs of California: Music for Winds and Piano \nAmerican Breeze – Musical Arts Quintet of Ball State University
