Lois Bliss Herbine
Lois’ Top Ten “Piccs”

Much new music written for piccolo is skillfully composed and many more selections are entertaining to listen to, but I believe few solo works combine both elements.This is what I consider to be some of the best piccolo recital works from the 20th and 21st century to date.
