Queen Mary's Revenge (Clarinet Quartet)

1. Three Blind Mice:

Not a cheery tale but one of sadness. Imagine 3 Protestants being led to their doom.

2. March: Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary (Purcell) -

This was originally the funeral march at Queen Mary's funeral, but here I have used it to 

represent the solemn authority of the Queen.

3. Mary, Mary Quite Contrary

One by one they march to the maiden (Guillotine), and become part of the

Queen's 'Garden'. Here we start with a solemn slow march and end up being

the children's song that is popular today.

Instrumentation: Clarinet Quartet: Clarinet 1, Clarinet 2, Clarinet 3 and Bass Clarinet.

Composer: Henry Purcell

Arranger: Fiona Hickie
