While living with my family during COVID-19, I was enjoying views of my mom’s flower garden and came up with some ideas for Busy Bees, a very short violin duo. This charming miniature depicts the strenuous flight of a pair of busy worker bees! Undulating sixteenth-note patterns and close intervals imitate the classic buzzing sound. Sudden dynamic shits and dissonance accentuate the drama of the life of a bee, and a mysterious ending leaves the bees’ final fates uncertain.
A great add-on or encore for your recital with a friend!
This piece has never been performed live, but after acquiring a violin, I made a recording playing both parts myself in 2022—listen with this link!
