Rebecca Clarke Sheet Music & Tabs

Eight settings of English poems for high or medium voice and piano including poems by W. B. Yeats and William Blake.

This is a wonderful collection of charming English Folk songs arranged for Voice and Violin by Rebecca Clarke.

For Viola (or Violin) and Cello Clarke's duo is in two contrasted movements and was originally written in 1918 as a concert piece for the composer to play with the English cellist May Mukle.

These charming tender and ironic songs make an excellent concert suite and wonderful encores. They are scored for Voice and Violin.

For Viola and Piano. This piece is one of the finest compositions for viola by one of the instrument's greatest players. It is luxuriant in melodic inventions and startlingly beautiful in its instrumental colours. The piano is a full partner to the viola contributing an equal share of melodic interest and colouristic effects.

for unaccompanied SATB to words by Shelley. Music when soft voices die combines aspects of nineteenth-century English pastoral style with some of the tonal adventurousness of Vaughan Williams's Shakespeare settings. This is an exceptionally beautiful setting of this familiar text.

A duo concertante for violin viola and pianoThis work was written around 1940 placing it near the beginning of a series of Clarke's late compositions. It both looks forward to her lean linear avowedly modern conceptions and backwards to works which are explicit homages to ancient styles forms and composers. A strain from the gypsy-rondo of Brahms's Piano Quartet Op. 25 echoes throughout the opening pages and is heard again in the piece's remarkable conclusion.

for unaccompanied five-part women's chorus (SSSAA) Although quite short this is one of Clarke's boldest and in some respects most ambitious compositions. It sets Shelley's magnificent ode to the Evening Star.

This exquisite setting for SSA unaccompanied voices of a well-known Marian motet (in Latin) was the first of Rebecca Clarke's choral works ever to be published.A Piano Accompaniment part is scored for rehearsal purposes.

This lovely piece from the 1940s is back by popular demand. Ideal for study or recital. Also available for Viola and Piano.
