Name: Just Be Clever by Margaret Francik
Duration: 3 min 16 s
Description: A little ditty for the COVID-19 era. Co-written by Riley Gray.

This piece is a loosely programmatic work which portrays the magic of bioluminescent organisms dancing in the ocean at night. A sparkle of light emerges from the darkness with solo clarinet and grows to a triumphant glow. Particles dance and flit wildly through the dark water like aquatic fireflies. Nearing the end of the work, the blackness of night seems to swallow all light; then the sparkle returns in a moment of radiant brilliance which fades again to a gentle shimmer as the piece concludes.

This work was originally orchestrated for full symphony orchestra and was premiered by the Whitworth Symphony Orchestra on March 3rd, 2018. It has been arranged for twelve players for this recital.
