Following the release of Leonard Garrison and Shannon Scott's Albany CD of Dorff's Two Cats and other flute/clarinet duets, The Scott-Garrison Duo commissioned Dorff to even the score with a sequel celebrating their two dogs, Xena and Zoe, young and exuberant Labrador retrievers. Rather than composing for flute/clarinet duo, Dorff instead chose piccolo and bass clarinet - creating repertoire for a neglected and ripe instrumentation, and to evoke the energetically gleeful gait of young retrievers running free in a big field. Leonard Garrison (piccolo) and Shannon Scott (bass clarinet) perform Zoe and Xena on YouTube. For advanced performers.
