Description
The earwig song was originally a vocal piece based on a poem by Wilhelm Busch
in which the poet (Balduin Bählamm) lies down in a meadow full of potential inspiration
when an earwig enters his ear and distracts him somewhat!
I have re-arranged my setting for various trio versions:
(clarinet trio and various flute trio arrangements with bass or alto flute taking the bottom line)
The pdf file contains score and parts.
The sound sample is an electronic preview.
The original song can be heard on youtube
