Trip the Light Fantastic!: 1st B-flat Clarinet

Trip the Light Fantastic!, By Robert Sheldon, is a tuneful and light-hearted piece that features syncopated rhythms and a touch of Lydian modality to enhance its playfulness. The title, borrowed from a poem by John Milton, means to dance nimbly and land lightly using fancy footwork which is most appropriate for a composition that also seems to dance nimbly and land lightly on the listener's ear.
