Description
One of a series of compositions based on my melody inspired by my stay in the Meinau district of Strasbourg. It is an unusual and quirky quasi-ragtime. The guitar is tuned with its lowest string down a semitone.
The sound sample here is a live performance by the composer (on guitar) with the late Chris Benson on cello.

and
recorder orchestra (in the recorder orchestra suite)
