A review by clarinethero
Old Turtle by Douglas Wood

5.0

Doug Wood's brother Bruce was one of my music professors in St. Cloud, MN. Our composition professor Scott Miller was commissioned to set the story to music while I was in college. The piece is patterned after Prokofiev's Peter And The Wolf (short kid-oriented music with gentle narration.) The orchestration of the piece was such that I did not participate in the premiere. I was at the concert (which I think included the Prokofiev as well) and can fully attest that they are some of the nicest people anyone could ever meet. Not sure about Prokofiev though!
