Lyrical Solos from the British Isles is a collection of folk and traditional songs and dances with one hymn and a few original pieces added, all with the aspiring young clarinetist in mind. The authors 2018 English Sonatina is prominently featured. The modal and folk song-like character of the sonatina is reflected in the clarinet and piano arrangements of the other eleven songs in the collection, including such stalwarts as: The Maidens Lament, Emerald Jig, Wild Mountain Thyme, and Scarborough Fair plus two more Marshall originals Ballad and The Highlands. The folk influence in this music is further enhanced by the innate lyrical quality of the clarinet in combination with stylistically complimentary piano accompaniment. All in all, these arrangements of well-known tunes together with the author's original compositions and performance notes present an engaging recital repertoire for the young clarinetist.

These solos, curated with the advancing clarinet soloist in mind, are the perfect choice for any upcoming concert, contest, or audition! Featuring masterworks from the likes of Debussy, Chaminade, Fauré, and more, this carefully crafted collection provides new engravings of classic works alongside new favorites.
