Storytelling for Flute and String Orchestra was commissioned by the flutist Sarah Beth Hanson under a grant from the Division of the Arts of Louisiana.

The work was inspired by a folktale about a ladybug and her four suitors: a cat, a dog, a frog, and a mouse. These four characters are described in II-IV respectively. The mouse wins the heart of the ladybug and they live happily ever after.
