24 all original Clarinet duets for intermediate to advanced players by Keri Degg. Containing a multitude of styles from Swing, Celtic, contemporary, classical, Rock and more, these are a must have for the intermediate to advanced player wanting to improve their playing.

As the duets are all original, no 'cheating' can take place by already knowing the melodies so good tactical mathematical skills must be employed. Some of the duets zone in on intonation, others on rhythmic precision, or expression. There are a number of light hearted duets in the collection which provide welcome relief amidst exam study work (after all, music should be fun too!).

The duets stick mainly to the keys and note ranges for the given grades but there are occasional exceptions (in our opinion this is good preparation for what is to come ahead) and generally the lower Clarinet part (Clarinet 2) is a little easier in standard and has more notes in the lower range than the other (although often the melody line will switch from player to player to share the tune and encourage sympathetic listening skills).

Apologies for the (rather poor) audio file; it's a digital interpretation of 'The Chase' - a comedy duet from the collection. They sound amazing on real instruments! There are 23 more duets too remember.

Examples of the included duets include; 'Desert Scape' (with ethereal timbral trills for a shimmering effect), 'The Chase'.... a comedy romp (imagine a cartoon chase; Tom and Jerry etc!), 'Seventh Heaven' a swing jaunt, 'I baroqued it' (a baroque-inspired fast paced duet), plus Celtic flavoured duets and more....

This is the sequel collection to the popular '40 Graded Clarinet Duets' (Grades 1-5) by Keri Degg. Also available in Saxophone, and Flute editions.

This is the most famous Windwood Soundtrack and brings always much fun to the players and the audience.
The arrangement for 3 Bb Clarinets and 1 Bb Bass Clarinet starts with a impressive tutti and goes on with a funny Bass Clarinet Walking.
It´s an easy arrangement for intermediate skilled players, but even the most advanced players will enjoy it while they can show their skills in the solo part. This theme lives from precise ensemble phrazing. You will enjoy the jazzy voicings.
We added an optionbal Jazzguitar part. If you need other instrumentations please ask at smparrangements@gmail.com

I found this very nice piece in an old creole jazz book and wonder why it is nearly forgotten. Big fun for starters to introduce your ensemble in the world of swing.

Program note.
Clarinet Quintet, opus 155 is the fourth work I have written for Nancy Braithwaite. The first one was written on the occasion of her sister?s wedding in Vermont. Nancy premiered the solo clarinet piece ?Trinca di Chôro? during the wedding ceremony. The second work was ?Yo Picasso? (2007) for clarinet, viola, cello and piano. The work was tailor-made for the Arto Ensemble which consisted of two married couples: Oane (piano) and Nancy (clarinet), and Prunella (viola) and Guus (cello). The third work was ?Octet in D, opus 144? (2012) scored for clarinet, horn, bassoon, string quartet and double bass. Nancy and her Dutch colleagues premiered the work in a program with the Schubert Octet in Bunnik, a small village west of Utrecht in the Netherlands.Many great composers have tackled the clarinet quintet, most notable Mozart and Brahms.
My Quintet is somewhat different in that there are a lot of jazz elements and something new that I have not tackled before: polymeter.

Clarinet Quintet, opus 155 is in seven movements.

I. Largo
II. Allegro
III. Interlude 1 ? Presto
IV. Adagio
V. Reprise ? a bit faster than before!
VI. Interlude 2 ? Adagio
VII. Allegro con moto

The work begins with a clarinet meditation over pianissimo string chords. The music is very static ? not unlike the sacred music of Arvo Pärt. This is followed by an allegro that is in 12/8 featuring a pizzicato jazzy bass figure played by the cello. The third movement is my experiment in polymeter. The ostinato pattern is grouped in a metrical scheme of 4, 3, 4 and 5; but the octave melody in the clarinet and first violin unfolds in standard duple meter of 4. The middle fourth movement is an adagio. This is an example of what I love about music, a soaring melody above slow haunting chords. A reprise of the jazzy Interlude 1 comes next, but in a slightly different guise with new elements, both melodically and harmonically.Interlude 2 is reminiscent of the meditative music of the first movement, but again it is quite different in mood and atmosphere.The finale is another experiment in polymeter. At first the metrical scheme is in a pattern of 4, 3, 4, 3, 2, 3 and 2. But eventually the meters get all scrambled up. Have fun trying to count. You?ll get lost! Above the ?oom-pah oom-pah? accompaniment, the clarinet soars like a flying bird ? diving, hovering, dipping and swooping!!!

ENJOY!!!

Die Moritat vom Mackie Messer, more commonly known as Mack the Knife, is a song by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht from their play The Threepenny Opera, which was first performed in Berlin in 1928. This song was hastily written before opening night for the lead actor, who complained that his character didn't have a good introduction. Mack the Knife quickly became a jazz standard, and has now been covered countless times by artists such as Frank Sinatra, Robbie Williams, Louis Armstrong, and Ella Fitzgerald.

Alec Templeton was a blind musician very popular in England and America in the 1930's and 1940's. This nifty little piece shows his skills in composing a jazzy sound using the techniques of J. S. Bach. Benny Goodman recorded the fugue movement in 1938. Playing in a swing style, they played the piece first as written by Templeton, and then repeated with solos. It is worth listening to that performance if you want to get the swing right! It is set for clarinet quartet by John Gibson (clarinet 1,2,3, and bass with an alternate Eb alto in place of clarinet 3). The audio sample has short parts of both movements. With a little practice this could be played by advanced intermediate players. Have fun!

A three movement set of virtuosic pieces for clarinet and piano, each movement representing a psalm. The first, Out of the Depths I Cry to Thee, Psalm 130, has a jagged melody, dissonant harmonies and literally cries with leaps of a seventh. The pastoral second movement , The Lord Is My Shepherd, Psalm 23, uses the American hymn tune, My Shepherd Shall Supply My Need, and gradually the pieces of it become the complete tune. The last, Make a Joyful Noise, Psalm 100, is a set of variations with lots of fun rhythms and meter changes, famous quotations, some klezmer, some jazz, some multiphonics and other fun techniques.

This beautiful ballad from the beloved film "The Wizard of Oz" is arranged in an elegant jazz style for clarinet solo with piano accompaniment. The clarinet carries the melody throughout. The part, with a few rhythmic and melodic twists, is written for intermediate players. The piano accompaniment is well-suited to the advanced intermediate player, and includes jazz voicings and chord symbols. A great piece for concert and recitals!
