Tea and Cakes - MLE 88
By Elaine Fine 2026
 
A B
 
 
Alternative simplifications: To increase the accessibility, some of the busier moments have been reduced slightly, with 16th-notes replaced with an 8th-note and 8th-rest, such as in m.6: Take the rest or play the 16ths!
-- Elaine Fine
 
 
This Members’ Library Edition is made possible by a gift from Ellen and Richard Rust, who met 53 years ago through Richard’s availability as a bass recorder player. An ARS member since 1961, Richard was content to play solo bass until one day a call came from Ellen, who was a member of a trio looking for a bass and spotted his name in the ARS Member Directory. They are pleased to sponsor this new piece that is accessible, playable, with no more than one sharp or flat.

Listen to all parts
No alto - you play alto
No bass - you play bass
