Tarantella
Tarantella is a work for slightly detuned piano and
string piano percussion by Stacy Fahrion.
It's in 6/8, but one of the recurring left hand patterns is in 7/8.
The percussive sounds are created by tossing a tambourine in the piano.

Long-legged Spinners - Whimsically Macabre
Snakes with forked tongues,
And porcupines, don’t be seen.
Deadly lizards, don’t be mean.
Don’t come near our fairy queen.
Philomel, with melody
Sing in our sweet lullaby.
Lulla, lulla, lullaby, lulla, lulla, lullaby.
Never harm
Nor spell nor charm
Come our lovely lady nigh.
So good night, with lullaby.
Weaving spiders, come not here.
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence!
Snakes with forked tongues,
And porcupines, don’t be seen.
Deadly lizards, don’t be mean.
Don’t come near our fairy queen.
Nightingale, melodiously
Sing our sweet lullaby.
Lulla, lulla, lullaby, lulla, lulla, lullaby.
Let no harm
Or spell or charm
Come near our lovely lady.
Say good night with a lullaby.
Spiders with your webs, stay away.
You long-legged things, begone!
~Shakespeare, Fairy Song from A Midsummer Night’s Dream

The Ghost of the Fly - Whimsically Macabre
The Ghost of the Fly, a composition inspired by the poem by Vachel Lindsay, The Spider and the Ghost of the Fly:
Once I loved a spider
When I was born a fly,
A velvet-footed spider
With a gown of rainbow-dye.
She ate my wings and gloated.
She bound me with a hair.
She drove me to her parlor
Above her winding stair.
To educate young spiders
She took me all apart.
My ghost came back to haunt her.
I saw her eat my heart.
When I was born a fly,
A velvet-footed spider
With a gown of rainbow-dye.
She ate my wings and gloated.
She bound me with a hair.
She drove me to her parlor
Above her winding stair.
To educate young spiders
She took me all apart.
My ghost came back to haunt her.
I saw her eat my heart.
Along Came a Spider
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey,
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.
