Concerto for clarinet

For Clarinet solo with wind quartet and string quartet. Score OnlyFirst performed by Michael Collins Clarinet London Winds and the Endellion String Quartet on 27th January 2011 at the Wigmore Hall London.Scoring:Solo ClarinetFluteOboeBassoonFrench Horn2 ViolinsViolaCelloDuration:circa 13 minutes'During a visit to the exhibition of Francis Bacon at the Tate Gallery in December 2008my eye fell on Figure in a Landscape 1945 which resonated in me powerfully. It is a sceneof devastation and despair and also it seemed to me of latent anger and hostility... butabove it all a serene blue sky beckons. So perhaps even in the darkest moments there is aglimmer of hope - the possibility of change.This idea became the starting point for this work - Towards the Blue - a mini concerto forclarinet who eventually becomes the leader of the group.The work starts without the clarinet and all is desolate yet fiercely argumentative discordant and uncomfortable. Suddenly the offstage clarinet is heard and the players insurprise are quietened. However when the clarinet enters and approaches with a lyricalmusical motif some of the players respond others resist. Gradually the clarinetpersuades the dissident voices to join him in a spirit of co-operation and harmony.A brief memory of the opening desolation casts a momentary shadow which is quicklydispelled by the coda marked Gioioso.'Thea Musgrave (May 13th 2010)Parts available for hire separately

for Solo Bb Clarinet and Piano-Cette oeuvre en deux mouvements pour clarinette et orchestre fut commandée par Musica Reservata vof Belgique et est dédiée à Eddy Vanoosthuyse un bon ami et confrère du compositeur. Elle connut du succès à sa première mondiale le 10 décembre 2008à Salt Lake City (Etats-Unis) interprétée par l?orchestre Utah Philharmonia sous la direction de Robert Baldwin avec Eddy Vanoosthuyse comme soliste. Par la suite l?oeuvre fut mise de côté pendant quelques années surtout parce que les agendaschargés des deux protagonistes ne leur permettaient pas de trouver le temps pour un enregistrement discographique. Pour finir l?oeuvre fut enfin enregistrée en juin 2015 à Nagoya (Japon) avec le Central Aichi Symphony Orchestra mené par l?étoilemontante vénézolane SergioRosales. La même semaine le 12 juin l?oeuvre fut présentée en concert pour la première fois au Japon par les mêmes interprètes et connut ici aussi un grand succès. Après Concerto Doppio pour deux clarinettes et orchestre à cordes composé en 2001 voici la deuxième oeuvre de concert de Jan Van der Roost qui met la clarinette en vedette.Le premier mouvement Doloroso e Contemplativo transmet le côté sérieux de la clarinette et par conséquent il n?y figure presque pas de virtuosité ou de spectacle. Au contraire l?orchestration colorée et variée qui est entrelacée autour de lapartie solo est bien plus qu?un simple accompagnement et prend la forme de partenairemusical d?importance comparable au soliste. Une introduction un peu mystérieuse mène à une première apogée orchestrale en passant par des cellules musicales ascendantes. Ensuite on entend l?entrée du soliste d?abord par des idées musicales plusfragmentaires puis par des lignes mélodiques plus longues. L?orchestre entre en dialogue avec le soliste et son instrumentation délicate et colorée crée un parfait encadrement musical. Vers la fin l?atmosphère du début est réaffirmée et lesoliste finit par la même note par laquelle il avait commencé.Le deuxième mouvement Giocoso e Con Bravura est une toute autre histoire : ici le côté virtuose et parfois presqu?acrobatique de la clarinette est exploré. Des cascades imposantes et continuelles de notes demandent une dextérité exceptionnelleau soliste ce qui à un certain moment et « récompensé » par l?orchestre par un clin d?oeil au « Hallelujah » de Handel ? vraiment mérité après ces feux d?artifice ! De temps en temps l?instrument solo présente une phrase humoristique : laclarinette ne peut pas que chanter briller et pleurer mais aussi rire et plaisanter. Plusieurs passages sont presque caricaturaux ! La palette variée de cet instrument magnifique est démontrée parfaitement parfois avec un brin d?humour oud?ironie. En effet les deux mouvements contrastants de ce concerto démontrent les différentes facettes de l?instrument qui s?est établi sur la scène de musique classique ainsi que la musique légère (quel nom peu prom

Opus 6-The Swedish composer Bernhard Henrik Crusell was long viewed as an insider tip among clarinettists; in the meantime his concertos have found their way to the concert stage. This is hardly surprising considering theenchanting music with which Crusell himself a Clarinet virtuoso of international rank has enriched the early romantic repertoire.Crusell’s works needn’t shy from a comparison with Weber’s and Spohr’sClarinet output. This Henle Urtext edition of the F-Minor Concerto marks the beginning of a new publication series of all three Clarinet concertos by Crusell which has been entrusted to the editor andclarinettist Nicolai Pfeffer. Since he combines editorial experience with many years of performance practice the works are in the best possible hands.

Performed by Denitza Lavchieva clarinet Accompaniment: Tempi Concertati Chamber Orchestra Conductor: Nayden Todorov Mozart did not make extensive use of the clarinet until comparatively late in his career but he wrote exquisitely for the instrument and the two scores dedicated to his friend Anton Stadler-the Quintet KV581 and the Concerto KV622-are among his most beautiful works. Both incidentally belong to the final year of his life. The Clarinet Concerto is in the conventional three movements with music that transcends conventionality in its remarkable sense of repose and serenity and what Bernhard Paumgartner has called 'its incredible warmth of tone perfectbalance and unmatched perfection of style.' The concerto had a tremendous resurgence in popularity with the release of the Academy-Award-winning 1985 film Out of Africa of which the piece formed a major element. This deluxe 2-CD set includes the concerto in its original key with printed parts for both A and B-flat clarinets and adds a repitched version for B-flat clarinetists allowing players of that instrument easier execution plus the ability to learn the same fingerings as the composer's intended A clarinet for performance purposes. Includes a high-quality printed music score (featuring both A and B-flat clarinet parts) on ivory paper; a compact disc featuring the complete concerto in digital stereo followed by the concerto performed again but minus you the soloist.

E flat major-The composer is known chiefly for his compositions for wind instruments Concerto in E flat major for Clarinet and Orchestra Op.36 being one such example. The piece was written in 1803 and is exceptional for its superb instrumental setting and formal balance. Without exaggeration Kramar's concerto is described as the most performed clarinet concerto in the Czech repertoire. The piano reduction was written by composer Ladislav Simon and the solo part was revised by prof. Jiri Kratochvil. (ed. Jan Racek). This practical edition is part of the Musica Antiqua Bohemica series.

in B-Dur / Bb Major-German composer Carl Stamitz wrote more than 60 concertos for Violin Viola Viola d'amore Cello Clarinet Basset Horn Flute Bassoon and other instruments. Some of the Clarinet and Viola concertos that Stamitz composed are considered to be among the finest available from the period. Stylistically Stamitz's music is not too far removed from the works of the young Mozart or those of Haydn's middle period. The Clarinet Concerto No. 3 was likely written around 1785 which was the same year that Stamitz was appointed the lead Violin of the Duc de Noailles in Paris. The style of thisconcerto reflects the usual orchestration found in the mid-eighteenth century where most of the important musical material was given to the strings while the winds were left to fill in the harmony. Carl Stamitz's style is pleasant and free-flowing as nicely illustrated in this concerto.

Walter Piston's Clarinet Concerto is available here as a Reduction for clarinet and piano arranged by the composer.

Carl Davis' Clarinet Concerto was commissioned by the Greenwich Festival with the aid of the Arts Council Of Great Britain. The piece was first performed at the Royal Naval College in June 1984 as part of the festival. It is arranged here for Clarinet and Piano.

Gregson's Clarinet Concerto was completed in 1994 by commission for the BBC and was first performed by the BBC Philharmonic with Michael Collins in Manchester April 1994 (later recorded on Chandos CHAN 10105). The writing is highly challenging pushing the instrument and its performer to the limits with some formidable glissandi and stark contrasts. This edition features a piano reduction of Gregson's orchestral material.

This is the piano reduction version. The Clarinet Concerto was written in 1968 in response to a commission from the Royal Philharmonic Society. It was first performed in February 1969 by the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Colin Davis with Gervase de Pyer as soloist at the Royal Festival Hall London.
