Mesuree Mexicana, Duo for clarinet and piano, score, part

Mesuree (1981) was originally composed for the MASEK-SMITH Duo (Soprano Saxophone and Guitar) who performed it often in the heart of historical downtown at the Los Angeles City Triforium. A lilting quasi-Latino dance rhythm with 6 + 4 beats in each bar creates the measured music referred to in the title. (Arranged 1985, for soprano saxophone and piano, recorded by the ECHOSPHERE Duo on Romantic Sax, 1985 CMR; arranged 1998 for clarinet and piano Price Duo international performances.)
