about

Buzzing (clarinet & singing, viola & singing, piano)

This is the 3 minute pop song of the suite, hence asking Catherine and Neil to sing a verse. I have a fervent interest in popular music and am becoming braver about composing post-style as I become more secure in my craft. It is a kind of homage to the Queen Bee though subtly interrogates social hierarchies and ideas around class, in the music and the lyrics

lyrics

Buzzing 'round our Queen
Keeping, keeping her warm
Flying 'round Our Lady
Crowding, crowding we swarm

Sometimes I'm tired
My legs are sore
I'm working hard
I'm working for

My Queen
My Queen
My Queen
