Mando-Rag 4'40
Beast & Baby 3'40
Jazzarello 3'30

Mando-Rag, Beast & Baby and Jazzarello each pick up a slightly different genre, they are full of character and are meant to be, above all else, fun and frivolous.
Mando-rag is a fun and charming rag which exploits the mandolin's capability to carry more than one part at a time.
Jazzarello is a mixture of a Saltarello (a type of Italian dance) and a jazz swing.
Beast and Baby takes its name from two instruments Alison Stephens played: Beast, a 1985 Pasquale Pecoraro mandola (octave mandolin) and Baby, a 1933 Luigi Embergher mandolin. The piece mixes a driving rhythmic theme for Beast with a more elegant and charming style of writing for Baby.

Written for Alison Stephens, these three pieces have an element of two part writing in them, more frequently found in guitar writing. This aspect provides a technical challenge for the player, but means that they are very much self-contained & satisfying musical miniatures to listen to. Have a listen to Alison playing Jazzarello in the recording above. 

Mando-Rag, Beast & Baby, Jazzarello are also available for mandolin duet here
