In this house we eat toddlers


Recommended Posts

A little piece (3:00) by me for ensemble. The title came from my irritation on these boards in homes with text like 'In this house we are real, we make mistakes, we say I'm sorry, we forgive' etcetera. Terribly sentimental in my opinion.

The attached score is in concert pitch! The conducter of the ensemble liked it that way.

I hope you enjoy! And like to hear from you...

That had a delightful "fractured fairy tale" feeling to it.  The choice to use a repeating motif and build up the layers worked very well.  It evoked the simplicity of childhood at the beginning and then showed all the nastiness that crawls out of the woodwork of a seemingly "nice" suburban life.  And I also hate those inspirational signs.  I have one in my house that says "be nice or leave."  Short and to the point.  It's in the kitchen, just above the big chef's knives, and both are visible from the front door.
