Herbert Howells (1892-1983) was an English composer and teacher, who is perhaps best known for his choral music in the Anglican tradition, most famously his voluminous settings of the evening canticles.
Minuet was composed in 1945 for solo Bassoon with Piano accompaniment. It was written for the birthday of Hugh Crosthwaite, an English academic and amateur bassoonist who was studying at that time at Cambridge, where Howells was working as an acting Organist for the duration of the war. It is subtitled Grace for a Fresh Egg; i.e., a thanksgiving for what was a rarity in wartime Britain.

Maracas are a native instrument to Latin America. Usually played in pairs, this instrument consists of a shell made out of wood, plastic or animal skin filled with natural or artificial beads. Maracas are used to form a basic rhythmic pattern for many types of music, and are excellent for developing good timing and rhythm. Both the shell and the handle on the IQ Plus Plastic Egg Maracas are created from high-strength plastic, creating a louder more projecting sound.
