Composed by Ferdinand Capelle, this Twenty Great Studies for Clarinet were written after Sivori, A, Charpentier, Rode, Fiorillo and M. Vieux. Quite difficult, they would help advanced players to master their technique and abilities and to build on the knowledge they already acquired. Each study lasts between one and two pages and they all have the approximate same level of difficulty. The book features an index table with a reference to Sivori, A, Charpentier, Rode, Fiorillo and M. Vieux to use as a guide.

The choice of 16th century texts, by Bronzino and Battiferri, reflects the interests of the dedicatee of these sonnets - Craig Hugh Smyth, a fine art historian and former director of the Villa I Tatti, who was a specialist in Bronzino and Pontormo. Bronzino's sonnet is a lament on the death of Pontormo, his teacher; Laura Battiferri's poem is a direct response to that of Bronzino. As I was also asked to set sonnets by Petrarca, I chose two of his closely linked sonnets, numbers 229 and 230 in the Rime Sparse. I had written a work for I Tatti some five years earlier setting Petrarca (â??A qualunque animaleâ?, the first in my Fourth Book of Madrigals) and was familiar with the context. However, through correspondence with Kathryn Bosi, Music Librarian at I Tatti and, through her, Craig Smyth's family, I became increasingly aware of his unusual and quite special character. From his undergraduate days at Princeton and indeed throughout his life, although a great scholar and writer, he was at the same time an aficionado of jazz, loving above all Louis Armstrong, being photographed with Duke Ellington, taking his children to see Thelonious Monk, listening to Ben Webster and playing the tenor saxophone himself. Indeed, he had told Kathryn Bosi that he had been proud to walk in procession at the funerals of black musicians in New Orleans. In some ways his life was almost an obverse mirror image of parts of my own - I was a professional jazz musician but found myself teaching art history for a time. As Fiorella Superbi of I Tatti has said: Craig was a maestro di vita. I raise a glass in his memory and dedicate these sonnets to him. Gavin Bryars.

The title SONATINA D’AMORE tells it all. This brief 3-movement suite resembles a classical sonatina in form and lightness, while d’amore expresses the music’s gentle warmth, often resembling an operatic love scene. SONATINA D’AMORE is equally suitable for social duet playing as well as for recitals.Sonatina d’Amore began as a simpler set of short duets for recorders, which later was developed for a commission from Susan Nigro and Burl Lane (The Two Contras) for their Crystal CD of contrabassoon duets, and I gave the piece an Italian title in Sue’s honor.There’s a play on words as some low instruments have amore in their names, like Oboe d’Amore. My love for the sound quality of low winds was also part of the amore, and this transcription for bass clarinet (my “native instrument”) makes the title even more fitting. The music itself is a further amore, as the relationship between the instruments is often like an operatic love duet with flirtatious counterpoint and resolved parallel thirds.This adaptation for deep clarinets was created for the Morii Duo (Lindsey Hutchinson and Rick Ferrarelli) as extra repertoire while I was composing Cosmic Menagerie.
