"The Heart It Is a Strange Beast" examines the conflict that occurs between the logic of the brain and the emotion of the heart when it comes to one's romantic endeavors. The piece is written for Men's Ensemble with clarinet, bass guitar, and simple percussion accompaniment. There are a lot of complex rhythms and at times the voice parts are almost polyphonic. The piece also explores the Dorian mode which is a rather rare key for modern performances. Even though this piece is challenging it is very fun to play and has a lot of educational potential for intermediate level groups.
The piece by Mark Lewis is written for Men's Ensemble but its range is such that a Treble Ensemble could probably perform it just as easily given that it were transposed to the correct octave. Clarinet is the preferred higher instrument but the relatively small range played means that it should not be difficult to transpose to another instrument's key. Bass guitar and double bass are similar enough that either instrument would work well for the bass line and the percussion parts are also intended to be easy to play on multiple different types of percussion instruments.
