The first of these pieces to be composed was Roof, commissioned by Lesley Graham for her singing students, and was first performed at Montana Poetry Day, July 21st, 2006. I then decided to add further songs to make a group of "Whimsies". The other three were written in December 2006 (The greywacke man), and January 2007 (New & Icy boyfriend). The are not necessarily designed to be sung as a group (although they could be, of course), but they are designed as short pieces which could be suitable as encore pieces. The soprano saxophone solo in The greywake man may also be played by a flute.
