Drop Bear (Woodwind Trio - Flute, Oboe and Clarinet)

A piece for wind trio: flute, oboe and clarinet. Tasmania is an island state below mainland Australia, and the only place the Tasmanian Devil still survives in the wild. It is however endangered. The devil is a fairly small animal, but the world's largest surviving carnivorous marsupial (Mammal with a pouch). They are solitary animals that roam around at night in general finding dead animals to eat which they eat in their entirety. They often feed in groups where the fierce little animals can make loud screeching noises at one another, asserting their dominance.

Instrumentation: Woodwind trio: Flute, Oboe and Clarinet (or Bass Clarinet)

Composer: Fiona Hickie
