Composer Bud Woodruff continues to present compositions that students will love to perform and will learn from playing. The title, Dorian's Barn has a unique double meaning in that it is dedicated to a man named Dorian and it is in the Dorian mode. The addition of the word 'barn' in the title also adds to the music a fun country backwoods aesthetic.

I had promised a piece for my valued friend, Dorian Barnes, in exchange for some repair work he performed on my violin at an inconvenient time for him. He is a very gifted luthier, which is a very ancient craft, and in addition to carving modern instruments, he has also carved more archaic stringed instrument. So I wanted to write a piece that captured the gist of what those original instruments might have performed.

The title Dorian's Barn is a twist on his name (Dorian Barnes), but also gave a good bit of inspiration to the piece, too. There are many ancient, deserted, old barns where I live, and they are all wonderfully made, but there is no telling what one might find inside of one of them. There is a real sense of mystery one feels when approaching one for the first time, and I wanted to capture that feeling in the music, too. It turns out that there was an old barn on the land where Dorian grew up, and that image has really stuck in his mind, too.

As a further twist on Dorian's name, the piece is primarily in the E-Dorian mode.

Wayne and Karey Kirkpatrick made an instant impression on Broadway with their hilarious send-up of musicals in Something Rotten. Here, they take on the common themes of life and love and give them a poignant and memorable pop number sung by Zendaya in Warner Animations' Smallfoot.
