a musical play in seven movements for solo bassoon

Composer: Susan Kander
Format: Book
Instrumentation: Solo Bassoon

This piece is a group of character studies, the music taking us into the conversations or silent thoughts and feelings of the various people having lunch today at Lorraine's counter. The player must speak the movement titles before playing each movement. The final movement brings all the thoughts and conversations together within Lorraine's very intuitive earshot.

Movements:

• Jennifer was proposed to last night, and she said yes.
• Frank is still wondering how anyone he loved that hard could get so sick and die?
• Olivia gets to go out for lunch with Papa: she hasn't wet the bed for three nights in a row! Grilled Cheese, please!
• Margaret's son died in Iraq five months ago. If she could only wrap her arms around him one more time.
• Max has been having matzah ball soup and egg salad on white with black coffee every day since the dawn of time. No one's heard him speak in years.
• Specs and Shorty gotta be back for Bio at 1:13!
• Lorraine, the counter waitress, hears everything, both spoken and unspoken.
