Close harmony clarinet quartet based on my vocal setting of a poem by Gavin Ewart.
The original vocal version is available at
http://www.musicaneo.com/sheetmusic/sm-181740_alcohol_for_four_equal_voices.html#181740
The words of the original poem (limerick) are:
O, so slowly the brain starts to go
as the cells are burned out row by row
and they're never replaced
So we're certainly faced
with oblivion - the last thing we know!
