The troubador in this piece can definitely carry a tune! You may even be humming it by the end.

A simple folk-style song that works wonderfully for strings and depicts a traveling troubadour and his trained pet entertaining for their food. The broken-chord accompaniment imitates the organ grinder as he sings while the marmot performs tricks for the listeners. It is a beautiful melody that moves between A minor and C major. Both upper strings and cellos take turns on the melody!

Commissione d work by the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and the BBC Proms.“'The Infant Minstrel and His Peculiar Menagerie' is a symphonic fantasy for solo violin, choir, and orchestra. Violinist Vadim Gluzman performs the lead role of a traveling musical storyteller who introduces a collection of wondrous tales by the mysterious author Erroneous Anonymous. The Infant Minstrel guides listeners in a voyage of imagination. Auerbach's new composition speaks to the young and the young at heart with child-like, yet enigmatic and humorous poems in the tradition of 'nonsense' authors such as Edward Lear, Lewis Carol, Hilaire Belloc, and Mother Goose, as well as Edith Sitwell, Shel Silverstein, Edward Gorey, and Tim Burton. The text is relevant, yet timeless; absurd, yet profound; simple, yet multi-layered. We meet characters such as the Common Corporant, the Moon Rider, and the Flying Pig that enjoys sitting on a cloud watching the crowd. The work embraces with humor the traditions of the British and Gaelic bard and the troubadour, whose songs told embellished and exotic tales. It also finds inspiration in the menagerie – a diverse collection of creatures and curiosities – and the sideshow presentation of oddities and the bizarre.” (Lera Auerbach).

"S ince 2009, I have been giving presentations under the umbrella title of PASSAGE. The intent of these performances - during which I read some texts aloud and interact with others that I have previously recorded - is to bring materials together in a non-linear way - images, musical performances, sounds, as well as texts - so as to allow each individual observer to make his or her own connections, find their own meanings. In using the term "non-linear," I mean to indicate that no logical succession, no chronology, no "argument" has been predetermined. I put elements together for each presentation of PASSAGE& nbsp;in such a way that the continuity seems appropriate to that occasion. There is no intentional desi gn, but rather the cultivation of inner whisperings about which elements (textual, auditory, visual) belong together. My practice might be thought of as a contemporary parallel to the tradition of the troubadour. I am a traveler through life who has accumulated tales that are now selectively shared." -- Roger Reynolds
