WW176:
Four Ebony For Clarinet Quartet (doubling saxes) by
Jeffery J. Wilson. Camden Music, 1993, SS. For clarinet quartet (3
B-flats
and bass) with the doubling as expected with the exception of the third
part requiring E-flat clarinet and well as B-flat clarinet and tenor
sax. A substantial 16 minute work comprising music of the "dance" from
the 16th century to the 1920's. This would require a proficient quartet
to perform. |
Bindings: HB: Hard Bound, PB: Perfect Bound (paperback with square spine), SS: Saddle Stitch (paper, folded and stapled), SB: Spiral Bound (plastic or metal, comb or spiral).
