Ode To My Clarinet

Hours after hours of practice Making sounds that are polished pearls Connected by a thin string made up of Accelerando, arpeggios, and articulation O, what wonderful colours you have! Measures after measures of music Playing with deep emotions that flow Sometimes, the stream in the green meadow on a sunny day Other time, the ruthless ocean during a thunderstorm O, what diverse sentiments you convey! Days after days as time passes Never failing to sooth the heart and the soul Inspiring in a way that builds and constructs Confidence, courage, pride, and esteem O, what comfort you provide! Rehearsals after rehearsals with the full orchestra Stepping onto the stage of the world famous Carnegie Hall Performing in front of a full house audience, the cadenza In Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underwood Overture O, what memorable experiences you bring!
