Doggerel is a term in poetry that refers to work that is crude and loosely styled, with little to no literary value. While the term is often used in a derogatory manner, I thought it would be interesting to embrace the idea that some artistic endeavors, while containing little “deep” artistic value, are still wonderful simply for what they are: in the case of this piece, an enjoyable entertainment experience. The three movements of this work are not meant to get across any specific philosophical or artistic message, but rather simply to be enjoyed by the performers and audience.
