Recently a link was posted to the narration in this piece, written (I believe) and definitely narrated by Garrison Keilor. Does anyone know who wrote/arranged the music for this?

Just did a google search, and you believe correctly. Thank you.

To quote the author (that's ok isn't it?)
"Many Lutherans start out playing clarinets in marching band and think of the clarinet as a Christian instrument, clear and strong and almost human.
But a symphonic clarinet is different from the band clarinet: it's sardonic, skeptical, and definitely worldly."
I don't know about the above, except to say that I have known many clarinetists who were skeptics, many others who were cynics, and quite a few who were almost human.

BTB - you're post made me laugh. I know this piece quite well, as I've heard it twice quite recently. It always makes me smile (though never laugh out loud).
If you like this work, then there is a British one called "Who pays the Piper?" that is absolutely brilliant (sadly out of print), anyone heard this??
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

Thanks for re-posting the link I too had discovered that it had vanished--into cyberspace perchance?
It says "by Garrison Keilor". Does anyone know, did he actually write the narration? The Randall Davidson website stated that Garrison had commisioned it but I don't remember it stating that he actually wrote it.
For those who listen to CBC-some years ago there was an on air telephone conversation between Garrison Keilor and Jeurgen Goethe. VERY entertaining. I think Jeurgen would do almost as good a job as Garrison himself.
