Three Shorts Turns: No. 2 - Version for Recorders

Three Short Turns was composed simultaneously in versions for a music box, for recorder trio, and for a keyboard instrument such as piano, toy piano, or celesta.
The piece was written after receiving a gift of a music box mechanism that could be 'programmed' by punching holes into a paper strip, in the manner of a player piano paper roll, and played by moving the strip through the mechanism by turning a small handle.  The piece was adapted in minor ways in the versions for recorder trio and keyboard. Three movements were produced because the music box came with three identically-sized blank paper strips.
