You won't find another piece of music more fitting of its title! Relentless is an intense, aggressive, wild ride of a piece that maintains energy and excitement throughout - even through the silences! Structured in sonata form, the music incorporates sparkling use of unusual orchestration, such as aleatoric whistling passage for the brass, and passages where the clarinetists play through their mouthpiece and barrel only. This is a surefire winner!

Resignation was composed in memory of one of Ed Kiefer's best friends. Evoking the struggle of coming to grips with the loss of a dear friend, the piece is based on the hymn, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. It is dramatic, heartfelt, and overwhelmingly beautiful. As Hans Christian Andersen once said, When words fail, music speaks..

Neither could I write a piece that could come close to reflecting his kind spirit, wit, personality or talent. In fact, it was almost impossible for me to write anything at all. My own grief and the stages of my grief kept getting in the way. I ended up with a setting of the hymn-tune, Resignation. Resigned.  To the fact that he is no longer with us. I know he is in a better place, but we are not. We miss him very much. And so, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need seems to speak to those of us he left behind. I apologize if this piece does not reflect your special feelings for him or help you celebrate his moving on. Unfortunately, I could only put down what I have come to accept and hope in some way it may speak to any of you that knew him or to others of you who have also lost a close friend. My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. That is my hope and my hope for you.Although technically very easy, this composition requires a maturity of musicianship to be performed properly. The Bb contrabass clarinet part is integral to the composition, but there are cues in the tuba part if you need them.  Make sure you bring horns to the fore at m. 53 and the low brass at m. 59 so the melody can be heard without effort. Exaggerate dynamics to bring more emotion to the piece. Be careful not to diminuendo too soon near the end or it will be difficult to diminish even further at the very end, where the lone clarinetist holds over a couple of measures, fading into nothing. I hope your students will enjoy this piece and take from it a greater appreciation for the way making music can express feelings.

George Gershwin used elements of classical music and jazz in this well known and loved work. The premiere of this piece was in Aeolian Hall in New York on February 12, 1924. Paul Whiteman led his big band, which was augmented with a string section, with the composer himself playing the piano solo. Gershwin improvised quite a lot during the concert as much of the music was yet to be written down on paper. The famous clarinet glissando in the opening was actually a joke from the clarinetist in the band, which Gershwin later wrote into the score.

De titel van dit bravourewerk verraadt alvast dat de klarinettengroep centraal staat. Het eerste en laatste gedeelte zorgen voor de nodige virtuositeit waarmee uw sectie stevig kan uitpakken. In het middengedeelte, een heuse blues, is er dan weer ruimte voor melancholie en expressie.

Clarinets to the Fore - Klarinetten nach vorne - dieser Titel halt, was er verspricht, indem er das ganze Klarinettenregister Ihres Orchesters ins Rampenlicht rückt. Die zwei virtuosen Eckteile dieses unterhaltsamen Werkes werden von einem bluesahnlichen Mittelteil unterbrochen. Harm Evers in Hochform!

Comme le titre l'indique deja, Clarinets to the Fore (Les clarinettes au premier plan) est une oeuvre brillante qui permettra aux clarinettistes de votre formation de devoiler tout leur talent. L'accompagnement orchestral est soigne et souligne elegamment la trame solistique. La premiere partie est vive et spontanee. S'en suit un motif plus lyrique ou deux solistes sont mis en avant. Le _x001C_finale est eclatant_x001E_!

Come indica il titolo, Clarinets to the Fore e un brano brillante che consente ai clarinettisti del vostro organico di mettere in mostra il proprio talento.

Reflections is a musical portrayal of the people and moments in our lives which shape and change us. Musical elements from various sources are woven into a rich tapestry of sounds and colors that show the full expressive range of the band. Perfect for contest and festivals! Reflections by Robert Langenfeld, was commissioned by a consortium (alumni/friends/family/UCM Bands/ CTS Pubs) for Dr. Russell Coleman in celebration of his 90th birthday and his service as director of bands at the University of Central Missouri (CMSU) for 32 years. Langenfeld was given guidelines for the composition which included a clarinet soli (Coleman is a clarinetist), excerpts from Dance Prelude (commissioned by Dr. Coleman and the UCM Phi Mu Alpha chapter, written by Claude T. Smith for the CMSU (UCM) Band in 1978), the UCM Alma Mater and the UCM fight song, Go Mules. This work was premiered on June 17, 2018 by the Warrensburg Community Band, under guest conductor, Dr. Anthony Pursell, at the 2018 Missouri Bandmasters Association Summer Convention at Tan-Tar-A in Osage Beach, MO.
