Tattoo For Four - A drill for Clarinet in Bb Violin Violoncello & Piano (2017).  Dedicated to Ensemble Nordlys. Parts are available: WH32974A Programme note TATTOO FOR FOUR is in reality the same piece as TATTOO FORTHREE from 1984 but with a fourth voice - for violin - added. Forperformances of the older piece just omit the violin part. The'hidden' 1984 piece has been slightly revised so the originalperforming material is now obsolete. The first piece in the TATTOO series was TATTOO FOR ONE for solo clarinet also written in  1984. Reaching back to its 1984 origins TATTOOFOR FOUR follows standard accidental procedure.(Poul Ruders)

Par ARNOLD MALCOLM. Martin Cooper writes 'The concerto has a dashing first movement marked by jazz memories and a lento whose wistful melancholy also suggests the sentimental lyrical style of the 1930s. The leap from this to the crude whooping and the stomping rhythms of the finale was irresistible. . .' Daily Telegraph, 12 October 1976 / Niveau : Elémentaire / Répertoire / Conducteur

Throne (1988) for Clarinet in Bb and Piano was composed by Poul Ruders on a commission from the Swedish clarinetist Håkon Rosenberg. Structurally it is organized in an arch form. Although it begins in the piano of the work can be considered as one long clarinet solo where the piano’s role is that of extending and mirroring the clarinet both in register and motif. As such the piano is treated as a monody throughout until the last warm B Major chord embraces the final notes of the clarinet. On the title page the composer tells us that Throne is Elevation Unity Diamonds Crown Glory Velvet Frailty Decline Oblivion Nothing. In short Throne is an abstract tone-poem on the transitoriness of Life.

Poul Ruders' Alone for Soprano Voice and Clarinet.This piece was composed in 1992 and incorporates text by Edgar Allan Poe.

Set of parts for Dreamland (2010) for Soprano Clarinet and String Quartet.Text by Edgar Allan Poe 1844. Score: WH31171Preface / Programme Note When looking for an interpretation on the internet of Edgar Allan Poe´s DREAMLAND it turns out that there are as many interpretations as there are interpreters. Some believe it is the mad hallucinations of a drug addict (could be Poe himself) others see it as Poe´s equivalent of Dante´s INFERNO – a tale from the Underworld.One thing is certain though. DREAMLAND is a ”fantasy” the vision of a dreamvoyagerarriving at and staying in a mythical location beyond and between space and time a place of strange majesty and surreal spectacles such as: “Mountains toppling evermore into seas without a shore”. At the same time it is a “peaceful soothing region” – a mystical ”wonderland” not unlike the fabled Eldorado whichis mentioned in the poem.Poe biographer Arthur Hobson Quinn called it “one of Poe´s finest creations” with each phrase contributing to one effect: a human traveler wandering betweenlife and death.DREAMLAND first appeared in print in America in the June 1844 issue of Graham´s Magazine and was subsequently published in a June 1845 edition of The Broadway Journal.

Break-Dance is an obvious next of kin to the two Clarinet trios Vox In Rama and Tattoo For Three. This piece however combines the roaring despair of the first trio with the twisted rhythmical display of the latter. The title of course is a reference to the modern street-dance electric boogie but the very music itself takes the naming most literally indeed: formally and rhythmically after a straightforward head-on opening it breaks into isolated jagged fragments winding up in a bouncing piano cadenza. Albeit not an obvious piano concerto the piano part hovers in the front line the same way the horizontal guy ringing himself on the pavement is doubtless aneye-catcher to passers-by. The springy 'body-language' that kicks off the piece suddenly stiffens and freezes into hard-edged blocks and the real 'dance of breaks' emerges into focus. Break-dance is commissioned by and dedicated to Yvar Mikhashoff and Spectrum. Arranged for 2 Trumpets 3 Trombones and Piano.
