Arrangement: Schubert Sonatina in A minor Opus 137, no. 2 for Flute and String Quartet
Transcription: Marion Bauer's Elegie for Violin and Piano or Flute and Piano
Made in Hungary
Marjorie Hanft and I collaborated on this poetry-with-interludes project in 1996. I recently found the music, and made an updated and revised score.
I wrote this as a set of interludes to be played between poems, but was pleased to find that it also works quite well to read the poetry yourself while listening to the music.
Arrangement: Dvorak Humoresque for 2 flutes, 2 clarinets, and strings

Transcription: The Swing and Foreign Lands from "A Cellist's Garden of Verses" for solo oboe or solo flute
In an Old House in Paris
This is an antiphonal piece that follows the rhythms found in the text of Madeline, a children’s book written in 1939 by Ludwig Bemelmans. The words that correspond to the musical phrases can be found in the book, which can be found in many libraries and bookstores.
During this time of social distancing, musicians have been looking for ways to play together by way of video communication. Truly synchronous two-way communication is not yet possible, so this piece explores the horizontal musical communication that is operative in antiphonal music.
I have found that the piece works better on a direct communication platform like FaceTime than it does on a conference-based platform like Zoom.
I have made modular settings so that this piece can be played by two violins, two clarinets, violin and clarinet, two violas, viola and guitar, oboe and guitar, flute and guitar, violin and guitar, violin and viola, viola and cello, oboe and viola, flute and viola, bassoon and cello, bassoon and viola, two cellos, and two bassoons.
I wrote this piece so that musicians can have the pleasure of communicating with one another in real time, which is a necessity in times of social isolation. In the time that follows the Covid-19 pandemic (whenever that may be), this piece could be performed in a way that injects freedom in the sections marked “allow for random cacophony.”.
This piece is available on this page of the IMSLP.
November 22 UPDATE: Here is a video of a Zoom performance of the version for violin and viola played by musicians in Michigan and Texas.
Here's a performance by clarinetist Jade Garcia and violinist Emily Rumney
The Schoen Duo has made three videos: one with the music alone, one with the music and pages from the book, and one with the addition of the spoken text! This link will get you to all three.

The Jumping Competition
Woodwind Quintet No. 2
April 6, 2017
This ten-minute-long piece for woodwind quintet would be interesting and entertaining for school-age children (and hopefully adults and wind players as well). The four movements relate to the four winds: west, east, south, and north. The cover art is a painting by my mother, June Fine.
The music can be found on this page of the IMSLP, and you watch and listen to a performance here:
