Subj: Re: companion piece to 'Pierrot Lunaire"?
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 22:08:42 -0500

One fun piece with instrumentation that could match your Pierrot group is
Jukka Tiensuu's "Tango Lunaire" it is about 10' and written for any
keyboard, flute or oboe, clarinet, violin and cello. It is a modern
take-off on the tango. I've played this piece with flute and harpsichord.
You could use piano, accordion... maybe even marimba. Contact the Finnish
Music Information Centre at info@-----.fi and they will send you parts
and a score for free.
