Of my many compositions are works for young audiences. This was
in part due to the “ECCO Tells the Tale” concerts with the
Eau Claire Chamber Orchestra featuring local authors and readers.
Two of these works were recorded and released with limited
distribution due to copyright. Therefore the CD was not sent to
streaming services. The publisher of John Coy’s fabulous book “Night
Driving” was the stick-in-the-mud. But just a few weeks ago I
said myself “why not release Andy Shafer’s book ‘The Fantastic
Journey of Pieter Bruegel’ as a new release?” Andy was smart to keep
the copyright. I listened to the recording and was really impressed
by the quality of the performance. Reading the names of the
performers I realized why. Bob Carr narrated the book masterfully.
Unfortunately he is no longer with us as are some of the musicians
listed below. I am honored to have had the opportunity to work
with everyone. I hope you have time and interest to have a listen.

Four Moods; Ivar Lunde, Jr, Opus 50

Track 9   Fast, agitated
Track 10   Ballade
Track 11   Furioso
Track 12   Gentle

Four Moods was first performed by clarinetist Norman Heim in 1976. Dr. Heim, to whom this work is dedicated, made the following remark to the composer following that performance "...there are so few pieces in the clarinet repertoire that measure up to the quality of Four Moods. The writing for the clarinet is most gratifying and yet is challenging."
Four Moods conveys four different "human" moods through music. Each movement concentrates on a specific mood but is not necessarily limited to that mood for the entire period. A "personal" serial technique is utilized throughout.
