A very playful piece written in G Major for a single 'treble' and a single 'bass' instrument. (Any combination that the performers/conductor/arranger decides).
[the following is copied and pasted from my main page] As a composer, I'm pretty much a composer on the side. When I have an idea, I write it down and go with it, but I don't focus all my musical energy into being a composer. I actually go through phases, or "seasons" as I would call if, of composing. I may compose very solidly for a few months on end and then not compose a thing for months on end. I am very much passionate about the compositions I do write. I also begin virtually every composition with pencil and staff paper, only transferring it onto an electronic medium (such as MakeMusic(tm)/Finale(tm)) as it becomes a finished product.

Story behind the song
As the title suggests, this piece is written for a treble and bass clef instrument. I generally don't write a composition for a particular instrument or set of instruments, and this piece is no exception. In fact, this piece sounds just fine as a keyboard piece. I simply use the grand staff as my canvas for creation, so to speak, and allow the performers/instrumentalists/arranger artistic freedom to mix and match how they would like it to be performed. As you'll notice if you listen to this piece to the end, I couldn't resist adding the zinger of a jazzy/bluesy B-diminished triad at the very end of this otherwise G major piece. To play this piece with, say, only two woodwinds, the lower voice would play a B while the upper voice plays an F-natural and the D would be altogether left out.
