@cdjdouglaswashingtoncfihgcc: Very much so!!!

Arrangement of Turkish folk song "Bülbülüm Altın Kafeste" for Flute, B♭ Clarinet and Bass Clarinet trio. The relatively lengthy flute solo introduction also makes use of traditional idioms.

Opening of the lyrics translate to: "My nightingale in a golden cage, Sings away leisurely..."

Headphones recommended!
