 WW258:
Five Dialogues for
Flute and Clarinet
by John Addison. Emerson Edition, 1992, SS, 13 pages in score format.
John Addison (1920-1998) was a British composer (who studied both
oboe and clarinet) best known for his film scores. This piece was part
of a project by the publisher to commission works for these two
instruments from composers whose writing for wind instruments was
particularly skillful and imaginative. The dialogs are: I. Prelude al
scherzo (Allegretto), II. Air (Andante), III. Caprice (Allegro
moderato/Andante), IV. Entracte (Moderato), and V. Valse (Tempo di
Valse). College level (although the slower movements are easier).

WW257:
Pit Band for Alto Saxophone, Bass Clarinet and Piano
by William Albright. C.F. Peters, 1996, SS. (includes parts and piano
score). This work, with its unusual ensemble of three haphazard
instruments--a pick-up band--attemps to digest an evening-long musical
comedy in a few minutes (8 to be precise). The program is: Tune-up and
Introduction, Overture, Opening Number, Vamps and Screams ("Nessun
dorma"), Love Song, Waltz, alla Marcia, Fox-trot and Shimmeys, and
Finale. An advanced work with some high altissimo for both instruments,
but without the nasty key changes found in most musicals. |

and Piano
by Malcolm Arnold. Queen's Temple Publications, 2004, SS, (includes
parts and piano
score). This piece was written in 1940 for flute, trumpet (played by
the composer) and piano. It is not surprising that the clarinet is now
listed first on the cover as the part would be more difficult on the
trumpet than the clarinet. A sectional piece including a czardas,
tango, blues, waltz and other elements. Early college level with a
duration of 10 minutes. |

(includes parts and piano score). Daniel Bimbi (1971-) was born in
Carcassonne in
Southern France. He studied clarinet with Guy Deplus and more recently

originally intended to be the theme of a Children's Opera based upon

WW132: Shadows Duo for Flute and Clarinet by Jane Brockman. Arsis Press, 1985, SS, 7 pages (score format). The tradition of imitation which has historically inspired two-voice music can be likened to an object and its shadow, continually evident in this composition. At times, the instrumental identities become obscured, and one is not certain which instrument is playing which line. Also, the musical language of Richard Wagner still has much relevance for this composer. It is his shadow which is 'felt' throughout the work as the leitmotiv of Kundry (from Parsifal) is employed melodically, but without its characteristic rhythm--and in a new context. A college level work with a duration of about 6 minutes. |

Intermediate Duets
by Mike Curtis.
MSS Publishing, 2010, SB, 73 pages in score format. This book has 25
intermediate duets with parts in C, B-flat, E-flat, and bass clef. The
composer has computed that there are more than 50 possible combinations
of woodwind instruments that can play them. These duets are
progressive. They gradually build the student's experience of time
signatures, articulations, tempi, dynamics, keys, styles and rhythmic
complexity. They were written to be short and fun. Click on the cover

 |
WW138: Prélude à l'après-midi
d'un faune
(Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) arranged for
Flute, Clarinet and Piano by Claude Debussy arranged by Michael
Webster. International Music, 1994, SS. This piece is one of the most
popular flute solos in the repertoire, but as the arranger writes,
adapting it for flute and piano has not been very successful because
there is too much music to be covered by two instruments. Adding the
clarinet produces a more satisfactory result. Both A and B-flat
clarinet parts are included. The duration is about 9:20. |
13.95

Flute and B-flat Clarinet
by Daniel Dorff. Tenuto Publications, 2008, SS, 8 pages. In score
format with two copies. Close on the heels (paws?) of his already
popular Three Romances,
composer Daniel Dorff has presented us with another flute and clarinet
duet. The composer's program notes are as follows: "Being quite fond of
my flutist-partner's two cats, I chose this opportunity to make musical
portraits of Hootie, a handsome and elegant 20-pound tuxedo cat, and
Tiki, a petite bengal princess. Hootie's music is generally in a slow
pulse with lyrical 16ths flowing, just as Hootie is pensive and
outwardly still, while clearly being very busy inside. The final phrase
is marked snoozendo poco a poco. The final measures of the Hootie
movement are identical to the beginning of the Tiki movement, just as
in reality one cat's end is sometimes notably close to the other's
beginning. After a 'peacefully lurking' introduction, Tiki's remarkable
showcat grace and playful lightness are set as an effervescent scherzo,
including some double-tonguing (after all, her name is ti-ki), a bit of
fluttertonguing as Tiki can sound herself, and with a regally strutted
circus march in the middle of the scherzo." College level with a
duration of about 8:15. |

piano four hands between 1894 and 1897 with additional movements added
on Dolly's birthdays. Michael Webster writes that the nature of the
original composition makes it well suited for this instrumentation. Six
movements: I. Berceuse, II. MI-A-OU, III. Le Jardin de Dolly, IV. Ketty
- Valse, V. Tendresse, VI. Le Pas Espagnol. For the first and third
movements, A clarinet is preferred but alternate parts for B-flat

with a duration of about 15 minutes. The first and last movements are

This technically demanding tour de force begins with a delicate exposition which... eventually explodes into a contrapuntal argument of grandiose proportions... like a multi-stage rocket that - ignoring gravity - traverses the earth's atmosphere. Bravo!" - Twentieth Century Music |

by Libby Larsen. Oxford University Press/Goodmusic, 2004. SS, 24 + 8 +
8 pages.
The composer wrote: "Barn Dances is a set of four abstract
pieces. . . Each pieces draws from the name
of a particular dance step used in cowboy dances. Taking the name of
the step as a point of departure, my idea was to take a flight of fancy
in each movement and to create the musical equivalent of a character
drawing." The movements are: Forward Six and Fall Back Eight, Divide
the Ring, Varsouvianna (a simple dream waltz), and Rattlesnake Twist.
Upper college level. |

C1536:
Corker for B-flat
Clarinet and Percussion by
Libby Larsen. ECS Publishing (E.C. Schirmer), 2001, SS, includes parts
and score. Corker was commissioned by Robert Spring, Professor of
Clarinet at Arizona State University and was performed at the
International Clarinet Society Convention in July, 1991. The composer
inspiration for the work is drawn from 1940’s popular musical language,
which she loves, because the performers are spectacular musicians and
because it speaks the rhythms and harmonic language of contemporary
American English. The percussion part is for one player (who will be
busy) playing marimba, vibraphone, suspended cymbal, tom-toms (high,
medium, low), snare drum (sticks and wire brushes), and high-hat
cymbal.
An advanced piece with a duration of 6:40. Two corrections to the
clarinet part are listed here.

Symphonie Concertante Op. 25 for Two Clarinets and Orchestra (Piano
Reduction) by
François
Devienne edited by Himie Voxman. Musica Rara/Breitkopf, 1973, includes

performed and 1794 when it was published. In two movements: Allegro
Moderato and Rondo (Allegretto). There is a joint cadenza at the end of
the first movement. The editor writes that it is still popular today
due to its "pleasing melodic line" and idiomatic treatment of the
clarinet. College level. |

C1153: Prelude, Blues and Finale for Two Clarinets
in A (or Clarinet in A and Viola) and Piano
by Elie Siegmeister. Carl Fischer, SS. Elie Siegmeister (1909-1991) was
an American composer, educator and author. This is a challenging and
exciting piece that was composed for Stanley and Naomi Drucker and
Blanche Abram and premiered by them in 1984. This edition was copied
from a manuscript which appears to have had a number of corrections
(cut and paste) especially in the first few pages. It is supplied with
a piano score, and a part with the first and second clarinet part and
another with the first clarinet and viola part, so when played by two
clarinetists they each have their own part. Duration about 16
minutes. When
we discovered
this piece (from the CD) is was a rental only. We have pestered Carl
Fischer/Presser sufficiently that they have decided to make it
available as a custom print. Sorry about the price. |

Set for Two Clarinets by
William O. Smith. Universal Edition, 1986, SS, 12 pages. The composer
(who is also known as Bill Smith) wrote, "I
have written several Jazz Sets
for various instruments. They have in common a combination of jazz
rhythms with atonal melodic lines derived from 12-note sets. Although
they may be played by jazz players in a jazz style, they may be
performed equally well by players without jazz experience. I hope that
they are easy enough for any good clarinetist to perform and
enjoy." There are five original
duets in score format with some variation in difficulty. (Except other items with free shipping.) |

C1594:
Melody of Love by Hans Engelmann arranged for
Clarinet Quartet by Gareth Brady. Comus Edition, 1990,
includes parts and score. Of all the popular tunes in this series this
is the one that is before my time, at least as a listener. Research
reveals that the music was written by Engelmann in 1903 and lyrics were
added in 1954. In 1955 it became an instrumental hit for Billy
Vaughn and for several vocal groups. The arrangement is for 3 B-flat
clarinets and bass clarinet (with an
alternate fourth part for B-flat clarinet). This alternate part is
slightly different than the bass part. The bass clarinet part is in
bass clef although in the score it is in treble clef. The melody is

C921: Die
Kunst der Klarinette Variations on
"Colonel Bogey" for three clarinets and bass clarinet
by Ian Holloway. Ian Holloway Music, 2001, SS, (includes parts and
score). This is a wonderful
clarinet quartet by British born clarinetist and composer Holloway who
has lived in South Africa for more than 25 years. This piece was
written in 1975 and was recorded by the Thurston Clarinet Quartet in
1995. It begins with an Introduction (and statement of the theme)
followed by five very distinct variations: Serenade, Sequence I, Fugue,
Tango, and Rondo. There are quotations from clarinet works from Mozart
and Weber and the final Rondo is clearly inspired by the last movement
of the Gran Partita. Successfully performing this work in public will
require a very good college or adult amateur quartet but groups not at
this level will find enjoyment in playing it for themselves. A low C
bass clarinet can be used but is not necessary. Duration
14+ minutes. Here
is a video on YouTube. |

C1303: Los Angeles Sketches
by Kenneth Lowman. Western Internatonal Music, 1967, SS, (score
included). For three B-flat clarinets and bass
clarinet. We found some dates for the composer (1916-2001) but haven't

Hillbilly, Echo Park, and Olvera Street. For those not familiar with
Los Angeles, Woodland Hills is a community in the San Fernando Valley
of Los Angeles, northwest of Beverly Hills. Echo Park is a community in
Los Angeles which is northwest of downtown and west of the Dodger
Stadium area. It was the original location of film making before the
studios moved to Hollywood. Olvera Street the heart of the El Pueblo de
Los Angeles Historic Monument and is located to the west of Union
Station. In 1930, it was converted to a colorful Mexican marketplace
which is also the setting for Mexican style music and dancing and
holiday celebrations, such as Cinco de Mayo. Olvera Street is probably
the most engaging piece in this suite and can be performed by
itself. A link to a performance of Echo Park |

C1596:
Moon River by Henry Mancini arranged for Clarinet
Quartet by Gareth Brady.

includes parts and score. A huge hit in its day and still a nice tune,
this arrangement is for 3 B-flat clarinets and bass clarinet (with an
alternate fourth part for B-flat clarinet). This alternate part is
about
10-15 percent different than the bass part, but I don't know if it will
work as a quintet. Easy high school level although it is the key of E

by Maurice Ravel arranged by Melanie Thorne. Sempre Music, 2010, SS,
includes parts and score. This familiar Ravel piece has been
arranged for 3 B-flat clarinets (alternate E-flat for the first part),
alto clarinet (alternate B-flat part) and bass clarinet. It would
probably work for a small clarinet choir (10 performers) as well. Not
difficult but there are many ritards which will require some ensemble
skill. |

C777: En Verdine by
Django Reinhardt arranged by
Yves Bouchet. International Music Diffusion, 1990. For clarinet sextet
(but works fine for a quintet as well as there are only 5 notes of
divisi on the third clarinet part.)
This is for four B-flat clarinets, alto clarinet and bass clarinet, but
there are alternate parts for E-flat clarinet, B-flat clarinet
replacing the alto
clarinet, and contra alto clarinet replacing bass clarinet. This piece
is a catchy little swing melody that sounds familiar but I can't quite
place
it. |

C1775: Made in the Spirit
for Clarinet Quintet arranged by Melanie Thorne. Sempre Music,
2010, SS, includes parts and score. A medley of three traditional jazz
(Dixieland) pieces for 4 B-flat clarinets (alternate E-flat for the
first part) and bass clarinet. Down by the Riverside (Lively swing),
Steal Away (Slowly), and When the Saints (Lively tempo). The last part
of Saints is marked as Swing. These are uncomplicated arrangements with
some syncopation and the tempos on the fast numbers as the main
challenges. |
