Years ago I've composed the music of the musical 'Erik', based on the book by the Dutch writer Godfried Bomans ('Erik of het klein insektenboek', in English, 'Erik or the little book of insects'). It's the story of a little boy who's reading a book about insects and suddenly he is in the book, part of the story. Erik goes through many adventures with the insects while the insects behave themselves like real people with their peculiarity, very witty. Here it's arranged for two clarinets and piano.
