This is one of the pieces for solo clarinet that I will be performing in February at the University of Victoria. It is a short piece (only about a minute) but incorporates some fun techniques to evoke the exciting and busy life of a bee. I have performed it as a featured soloist with the Saskatoon Serenade and have a soft spot for bee related things - Melissa does mean honey bee after all. Kevin and I have also performed Corker by Libby Larsen and it is a challenging work but well worth it.
There are detailed concert notes by the composer featured on her website: here. I encourage you to explore her work further!
