| Description: Can you imagine what a conversation among porcupines might sound like? Porcupettes depicts adult porcupines (lower strings) interacting with their newly born baby “porcupettes” (upper strings). An exciting aspect of this very accessible piece is the stark contrast between tenuto and staccato quarter notes, representing the softness of hair on the back, sides, and tail of a porcupine and the sharp, needle-like quills for which porcupines are famous. |
