This is a musical depiction of the Grimms’ fairy tale with changed names of musical instruments (e.g., lute to clarinet). I listened to animal sounds on the internet and tried to imitate them musically where called for. Catherine Sutton and Ruth Friedman helped me edit the story. There were two performance in 2013. To my delight, the piece was performed in July 2015 in Bismarck, ND by the Missouri Valley Chamber Orchestra Woodwind Quintet and may be heard on YouTube
