Summer Solstice is a 19-minute concerto in three movements, composed for solo clarinet with a colorfully-textured string orchestra. The piano reduction is comfortably voiced for recital use. Dorff's joy in writing for his own instrument is readily heard in the warm cantabile writing and gracefully idiomatic passagework. Drawing inspiration from the elegance of Mozart's concerto and the rhythmic grit of Copland's, Dorff's concerto is a true hybrid of jazz-inspired language with classical form and counterpoint. The Philadelphia Inquirer has written, Summer Solstice is light without being insubstantial, melodic without being obvious. It has an invariably American sound. Orchestral score and parts are available on rental. Full score is also available for sale as study score (416-41604) or large score (416-41604L).____________ _________________________ Text from the scanned back cover:Summer Solstice (Concerto for Clarinet and Strings)The Philadelphia Inquirer has written “Summer Solstice is light without being insubstantial, melodic without being obvious.

Having won many prizes at the Paris Conservatoire during the 1920s-1930s, Eugene Bozza went on to conduct the orchestra of the Opera-Comique and to become Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes. As a major figure on the classical music frontline, Bozza's compositions were well-received by audiences, New Orleans being popular in the bass brass repertoire. This Bozza piece for bass brass with piano accompaniment was written in 1962. It was orginally composed for bass saxhorn but since the instrument was falling into obscurity, Bozza also adapted it for bass trombone and tuba. New Orleans is influenced by the jazz culture of the city. As music educationalist, Paul Griffiths has written of Bozza's compositions, his works reveal melodic fluency, elegance of structure and a consistenly sensitive concern of instrumental capabilities. New Orleans for bass trombone, tuba, or bass saxhorn and piano remains popular in the repertoire of the instruments and is often included in audition syllabuses, making it essential to aspiring performers of bass brass.

From internationally-celebrate d composer Pablo Sosa comes this captivating 2-disc recording of original songs inspired by this unique metaphor. Sosa writes, “When heaven is at the same height as a table (that is, within our grasp), it creates encounter. This encounter becomes feast, friendship, altar and nourishment, as well as refuge, inclusion and justice for all.†The songs on this album explore aspects of this encounter with elegance, tenderness, passion and exuberance. Be transported through an odyssey of musical vignettes that feel at once classic and timeless, universal in their embrace while unabashedly Argentinian. Flamenco, tango, jazz, and samba all infuse these songs’ underlying flare for story-telling—in this case, the story of our faith and the church.
